Patient's question:
Recently, I suddenly felt itchy outside my vagina, and the itching was so intense that I couldn't resist the urge to scratch. My discharge was also bad—chunky and like cottage cheese. I was worried that this could affect the baby, so I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up. They discovered that I had a gynecological infection—candidiasis (yeast infection), and I was panicked.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to have a thorough examination of vaginal discharge at a regular hospital to confirm the diagnosis and provide symptomatic treatment. If you develop gynecological diseases after pregnancy and require treatment, your attending physician will do their best to determine the medication with the least impact on the fetus and implement the treatment. Please do not be too anxious. After becoming pregnant, pay attention to a balanced diet. In addition to eating some light vegetables and fruits, this will keep the baby healthy and maintain a good mood. Facing the harm of gynecological diseases, we should actively carry out thorough examinations and treatments and should not avoid seeking medical attention. If gynecological diseases do not improve with treatment, it is necessary to change the treatment plan in a timely manner.
