Can pregnant women use medication for vaginitis?

Patient's question:

At 28 weeks of pregnancy, a thorough examination revealed vaginitis. The doctor prescribed 2 boxes of Baofukang suppositories, instructing me to use one box (8 days) and then stop for a week before using the next. Today, at 30 weeks of pregnancy, another examination showed that the vaginitis persists, accompanied by a urinary tract infection. The doctor advised me to focus on using the Baofukang suppositories and also prescribed some Amoxicillin. Can I work with vaginitis during pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

It is a fungal vaginal infection. Early pregnancy is a trigger for the onset of fungal vaginal infection. You should focus on treating it with Baofukang suppositories. Using salt water for washing is ineffective. You can use sodium bicarbonate injection for rinsing, which helps change the vaginal pH and aids in treating fungal vaginal infection. There are several treatment methods for vaginal infections, but since the patient's condition varies, the diagnostic approach also differs. Therefore, it is necessary for the patient to be diagnosed as soon as possible so that the treatment can be tailored accordingly.
