Patient's question:
Recently, I've noticed some abnormalities in my leukorrhea—there's a bit of continuous increase, accompanied by a strange odor, and the color is a bit yellowish. My friend mentioned it might be inflammation. I heard that pregnant women shouldn't take medicine indiscriminately. So, what should I do? What should a pregnant woman do if she gets a gynecological disease?Doctor's answer:
Because during pregnancy, the mother's body is the most special, so it is easier to experience vaginal infections again compared to before, with fungal infections being the most common, but not limited to mixed ones! Since you are now eight months pregnant, you need to be cautious and avoid using medication casually. It is best not to use vaginal douches, as medication may lead to premature birth. So, please examine yourself: if it is mild, you can use warm salt water for cleaning at home. If it is severe, go to the hospital for check-ups, including routine vaginal discharge tests, so that treatment can be tailored accordingly. Routine vaginal discharge tests are very affordable. In addition to timely treatment for gynecological diseases, patients should always maintain a positive attitude in facing the illness.
