Will pregnancy during the treatment of vaginitis affect the baby's development?

Patient's question:

My period came last month on the eleventh. On the first day, because I had persistent vaginal itching and excessive discharge, I used some medication. But now, on the tenth day, my period hasn't arrived, and when I checked, I found out I'm pregnant. I'm both happy and worried because I took medication, and I want to know if it could affect the baby.

Doctor's answer:

This depends on the medication you are using. From the perspective of eugenics, it may have some impact, but it is not significant. It is recommended to monitor the intellectual development of the fetus during the 15th to 20th week of pregnancy, and to perform a detailed four-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound at the 22nd to 26th week of pregnancy to understand whether the fetus has any major malformations and the development of major organs. Patients face the distress of vaginitis, we should promptly implement the principle of symptomatic treatment and not avoid seeking medical attention. If vaginitis does not improve with treatment, it is necessary to promptly change the treatment plan.
