Patient's question:
Doctor, my wife is four months pregnant with her first child, and a thorough examination has revealed vaginitis. Doctor, what should I do if a pregnant woman gets vaginitis? Can vaginitis be treated? Will it affect the child? How can vaginitis occur during pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Your wife is currently pregnant. During this stage, her immune system is relatively weak, making her more susceptible to secondary infections and the transmission of pathogens. Your wife is now four months pregnant, and this stage is relatively stable for the fetus. If she has a vaginal infection, it is important to treat it actively, otherwise it may affect the subsequent normal delivery. To prevent the transmission of pathogens through the birth canal and impact the newborn, you should now have a white discharge test conducted under the guidance of a doctor to identify the pathogen. External medications can be used for treatment, which generally has a minimal impact on the fetus.
