Patient's question:
How can vaginal yeast infection be effectively treated? I have a vaginal yeast infection and am currently 14 weeks pregnant. Before getting pregnant, I had been suffering from this infection and had been treated continuously. The doctor said I got pregnant before fully recovering. Now, there is a lot of discharge from my vagina, and it looks like cottage cheese. How can vaginal yeast infection be effectively treated?Doctor's answer:
1. If a pregnant woman is less than 3 months pregnant and suffers from vaginitis, medication can be inserted vaginally. Otherwise, untreated vaginitis can lead to miscarriage or premature birth. Vaginal medication is possible. Since you are now more than 3 months pregnant, vaginal medication will not affect the baby. Vaginal medication can be administered before bed each night, which generally prevents leakage and provides therapeutic effects. Vaginal medication combined with external washing and medication is usually necessary for treating fungal vaginitis, requiring persistent and course-based treatment.2. It is best to undergo a thorough examination at a local hospital to determine the cause of the condition. Based on the diagnosis, timely and symptomatic treatment should be administered. Personal hygiene should also be paid attention to.
