Patient's question:
Previously, my health was not good, and I had diabetes. Moreover, I am currently pregnant, but my vagina has been itchy for a long time. I want to ask if gestational diabetes can cause external genital itching?Doctor's answer:
Diabetic patients due to high blood sugar, glucose in the urine, are prone to various infections, and are prone to recurrent urinary tract infections, vulvar itching, etc. It is recommended that you create a healthy lifestyle, pay attention to the hygiene of the perineal and perianal skin, actively control blood sugar, monitor blood sugar levels, fetal growth and development, and maturity throughout the entire early pregnancy period, and pay attention to the prevention and resolution of neonatal hypoglycemia after delivery.
