Patient's question:
I've been pregnant for two months and have started experiencing vaginal itching and sometimes pain. I've been to the hospital twice and taken medication, but it hasn't been effective. The symptoms come and go, sometimes mild and sometimes severe. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Increased vaginal discharge during pregnancy, along with moist perineum, can easily lead to bacterial growth, causing vaginitis. After the third month of pregnancy, it is recommended to use Baofukang suppositories, which promote qi flow, break blood stasis, and nourish muscles while invigorating blood circulation. These are used for conditions of damp-heat and blood stasis, leading to leucorrhea (vaginal discharge), characterized by excessive yellow discharge and occasional itching in the genital area, as well as fungal vaginitis with symptoms matching the above conditions. Daily, it is important to change clothing and underwear frequently, and to clean the perineum moderately with warm water. For patients, if the condition of vaginitis is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment should be administered, and appropriate medication should be used. Otherwise, it may lead to recurrent vaginitis. Additionally, patients should maintain a proper diet and stay in a good mood.
