Patient's question:
Your aunt, who is about to have her first child, is now six months pregnant. It might be due to not being careful enough during pregnancy or her constitution, and now she has developed vulvitis. She is a bit scared and feels sad, worried that it might affect the baby in her belly. So, she wants to know what to do if she gets vulvitis during pregnancy.Doctor's answer:
After getting pregnant, if there is a recurrence of vulvar inflammation, and if there is a significant amount of leukorrhea, it is necessary to have a thorough examination of the leukorrhea and undergo vaginal medication treatment. Now that you have been pregnant for over six months, vaginal medication will definitely not cause harm to the baby. If there is vulvar inflammation, you can apply erythromycin ointment or selenium disulfide ointment to relieve the symptoms. At this stage, medication poses no interference to the child, so there is no need to worry. If there is inflammation, it must be treated, otherwise, it may easily lead to vaginal or cervical lacerations during a vaginal birth.
