Patient's question:
What should I do if the vaginal infection during pregnancy recurs after stopping medication? It got better after taking medication, but then the white discharge returned after a short while.Doctor's answer:
Hello, I suggest you do a routine vaginal discharge test to determine the specific type of vaginitis for symptomatic treatment. Vaginitis can be classified into fungal, trichomoniasis, and mixed-bacteria vaginitis, among others. It is important to confirm the diagnosis before starting symptomatic treatment for better results. Currently, you can use baking soda solution or Jie'eryin to clean the external genitalia and vagina. At the same time, change your underwear daily and wash it together with your towels and basin. In summary, do not take this lightly. Actively get tested and start symptomatic treatment. For this condition, you can use topical gynecological washes and suppositories, combined with oral anti-inflammatory medication. It is essential to take the medication on schedule and avoid sexual intercourse during treatment. It is best for both partners to be treated together. Drink plenty of water, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and refrain from smoking and alcohol. Pay attention to hygiene in the genital area and follow-up check-ups. Wishing you good health.
