Patient's question:
Pregnant for seven and a half months, vulvar itching, especially worse at night. I have to change my clothes and underwear every day. It always feels damp down there with yellow discharge. What should I do about vulvar itching at seven and a half months of pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal candidiasis is primarily characterized by external itching and increased vaginal discharge. During treatment, first use a 2%-4% baking soda solution to rinse the vagina, and then insert Daktarine suppositories into the vagina. The treatment duration should be shortened to prevent transmission to the fetus. Underwear should be exposed to sunlight for drying. In addition to promptly treating external itching, patients should maintain a positive mindset to face the disease. Only in this way can patients receive timely and appropriate treatment. At the same time, they should pay close attention to dietary care, ensuring balanced nutrition and proper digestion of nutrients, believing that this will surely drive away external itching.
