Patient's question:
I'd like to ask if it's okay to take medication after getting a fungal vaginal infection during pregnancy. I'm two months pregnant now. I went for a thorough check-up because of intense vaginal itching, and when I told the doctor I'm two months pregnant, she prescribed some topical medication, saying it's no big deal. I'm still a bit uneasy, so I came here to ask if it's okay to use it?Doctor's answer:
You are two months pregnant and have been carefully examined for candidal vaginitis. During pregnancy, if you have vaginitis, you can use topical solutions and local vaginal medication. This treatment method has no significant interference on the fetus, so there is no need to worry too much. Pay attention to maintaining cleanliness and hygiene. During the early stages of pregnancy and while treating vaginitis, sexual activity should be avoided. Follow the prescribed treatment regimen and undergo regular follow-up examinations. Pay attention to hygiene and rest.
