Patient's question:
I've been pregnant for almost three months and realized I have a vaginal infection. How do I treat bacterial vaginosis during pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Pregnancy is a special period, and the local resistance of the vagina is weakened, making it easy to experience recurrent bacterial infections. If abnormal vaginal discharge or external genital itching occurs again, it is important to promptly visit the hospital for a follow-up examination and vaginal discharge test. Treatment should be based on the results of the vaginal discharge test. If bacterial vaginosis has already been diagnosed, medication for the vagina is necessary for relief. Pay attention to maintaining good hygiene of the external genitalia and changing underwear frequently. During the recovery period, it is also important to change and wash underwear frequently. After washing, underwear should be thoroughly exposed to sunlight to ensure complete sterilization.
