How to treat vulvar itching during pregnancy

Patient's question:

During pregnancy, there was itching in the external genital area. From the 4th month of pregnancy to now, at the 8th month, it has been like this. There has also been a lot of leukorrhea, which is now even more severe than before. I went to the hospital for a leukorrhea test and was diagnosed with candidal vulvovaginitis. They prescribed a solution, but after using it, it's still the same.

Doctor's answer:

If it is a fungal vaginal infection, you can use a liquid wash combined with a vaginal to treat it. Generally, you can use baking soda liquid combined with Nifurterol and Clotrimazole soft capsules. These medications can be used cautiously during pregnancy. During treatment, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and refrain from sexual activity to prevent the condition from worsening. It is essential to control the inflammation, otherwise, the probability of premature rupture of membranes in the late stages of pregnancy will increase.
