Patient's question:
I'm almost eight months pregnant. Will vaginitis cause fetal malformation? Is it likely to be transmitted to the baby? Can it be treated now? What are the risks? Yisheng, please help me answer.Doctor's answer:
The baby will typically reach its growth and development milestones around 3 months, so the likelihood of developmental deformities at 8 months is very small. However, conditions such as fungal vaginitis or trichomoniasis can be transmitted to the baby. This applies under the condition of a normal vaginal birth. So, at 8 months, it is still necessary to have a thorough examination. If there are no issues, you can rest assured. In addition to treating vaginitis, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
