Patient's question:
I just found out I'm four months pregnant. Since last week, I've been feeling itchy down there, and it also feels wet. During pregnancy, discharge is normal, so I didn't take it seriously at first. But in the past few days, the discharge has become very foul-smelling, and it's always itchy down there. Later, I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, and they said I have vaginitis. I'm very worried because I'm currently pregnant.Doctor's answer:
After a woman becomes pregnant, due to the effects of hormones, the secretion of the vagina increases continuously, and the external genital area becomes moist, making it easy for bacteria to grow. At the same time, a pregnant woman's immune system is also enhanced, making her more susceptible to external bacterial infections. As a result, various types of vaginitis are prone to affect "expectant mothers." During pregnancy, the most common gynecological inflammation is indeed various types of vaginitis, including fungal vaginitis, trichomoniasis, and bacterial vaginosis. Vaginitis is a condition that is difficult to resolve. Friends who suffer from this should always maintain an optimistic attitude and face it with a positive mindset. Only in this way can they boost their confidence in combating vaginitis and believe that they will surely recover.
