What should a pregnant woman do if she gets a gynecological disease?

Patient's question:

I am three and a half months pregnant. I just had a comprehensive and thorough check-up, and both I and the baby are doing well. However, recently I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain and excessive leukorrhea. I went to the pet hospital and was told I have a gynecological disease. I want to ask what should be done if a pregnant woman gets a gynecological disease?

Doctor's answer:

Because during pregnancy, the mother's body is the most special, so it is easier to experience vaginal infections again compared to before, with fungal infections being the most common. However, it is not limited to mixed infections! Since you are now eight months pregnant, you need to be cautious. Do not use medication casually, and it is best to avoid using feminine washes, as medication may lead to premature labor. So, take a look at yourself. If it is mild, you can use warm salt water for a rinse at home. If it is severe, go to the hospital for check-ups, such as routine vaginal discharge tests, so that treatment can be tailored accordingly. Routine vaginal discharge tests are very affordable, not exceeding ten dollars! Finally, I wish you good health and happiness! For severe gynecological disease patients, it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Do not switch medications casually, as this may have the opposite effect on the treatment outcome.
