Patient's question:
I am about 7 months pregnant. Since the 4th month, I have been feeling that the discharge from my vagina is a bit abnormal. I didn't pay much attention to it at first, just rinsed it with clean water, but it didn't go away and has been getting worse. I looked up some information and found that it might be trichomoniasis. I would like to ask if trichomoniasis can infect the fetus?Doctor's answer:
No impact. During pregnancy, no medication should be used in the vagina, and vaginal douches are also not recommended. The best option is to rinse with warm water. Due to pregnancy, secretions may be more than usual, so it’s important to change underwear frequently and wash more often. Pay attention to hygiene, and there’s nothing serious to worry about. When I gave birth, I also had vaginal infections, but the doctor said it wasn’t a major issue, except for treating trichomoniasis. It’s recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a joyful mood to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
