Patient's question:
I found out that I am pregnant. When I had a thorough check-up, I discovered that I also have vaginitis. What should I do if I find out I have vaginitis after discovering I am pregnant? Will it affect the baby?Doctor's answer:
Women who discover vaginitis after becoming pregnant should have a thorough examination of their leukorrhea routine to diagnose the specific type of vaginitis. In most cases, vaginitis does not significantly affect the health of the baby, but having vaginitis may lead to intrauterine infection during the onset of labor in a vaginal delivery. Therefore, if vaginitis reoccurs, it is generally advisable to consider symptomatic vaginal medication treatment. The most common type of vaginitis that occurs during pregnancy is candidiasis.
