Patient's question:
I am very concerned about my health right now because I have been pregnant for several months. I always feel a severe itch down there, and washing every day doesn't seem to help. I went to a gynecologist for a thorough examination, and they said it was trichomoniasis. How should pregnant women treat trichomoniasis?Doctor's answer:
Trichomoniasis is contagious. During pregnancy, a woman's immunity often declines, which may increase her risk of contracting the infection several times higher than the general population. If trichomoniasis is contracted during pregnancy, it is essential to actively follow medical advice and use the prescribed medication for treatment. This is because trichomoniasis can easily interfere with the healthy growth and development of the fetus, potentially leading to fetal malformation, miscarriage, and other complications. Do not use medication blindly.
