How to deal with vaginitis during the first pregnancy

Patient's question:

Those who want children, have intercourse during ovulation, and have been doing so for about 10 days. However, recently, it seems like they have developed candidal vulvovaginitis, with external genital itching and the reappearance of cottage cheese-like discharge. What should they do? Can they take medication?

Doctor's answer:

It is best not to take medication during the first pregnancy. You can use some topical medications to rinse the vagina. Applying clotrimazole cream or terbinafine cream externally can help treat vulvitis caused by fungal infections and alleviate symptoms such as itching and pain in the vulva. Apply externally several times a day for 2 weeks. In addition, during the treatment of vaginitis, besides symptomatic treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also crucial. The patient must maintain a positive mood and eat a balanced diet to avoid unnecessary impacts on the complete recovery of vaginitis.
