Patient's question:
I am 36 weeks pregnant and have noticed that my discharge is a bit like cottage cheese. It should be a fungal vaginal infection. What medication should I use? Something that won't be stimulating to the fetus.Doctor's answer:
Any vaginal itching, a significant amount of white cheesy discharge, accompanied by a burning sensation in the vagina, urgency and pain during urination, and pain during intercourse. When symptoms are severe, it can cause restlessness and extreme discomfort. It is suspected to be caused by a fungal infection. Use small sanitary pads as protection, avoid using harsh soaps, and do not self-cleansing the vagina. Avoid using antibiotics. Women who use antibiotics are prone to vaginal flora imbalance, leading to recurrent fungal infections.In addition, during the treatment of vaginitis, in addition to immediate treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important. Patients must avoid excessive stress and anxiety to prevent unnecessary impacts on the complete recovery of vaginitis.
