Patient's question:
Hello!I had my period on November 20th (cycle length 30-70 days). Due to a vaginal infection, I went to the hospital on the 29th for a check-up and am currently taking "Ciprofloxacin Tablets," "Ketoconazole Capsules," and a vaginal suppository medication. My husband is also taking similar types of medication. These drugs are not safe to take during pregnancy. Could you please tell me if we can get pregnant this month after finishing the medication? Thank you!
Doctor's answer:
Hello, in the case of vaginitis, the possibility of it affecting pregnancy is generally not very significant, so there is no need to be too anxious. However, it is indeed recommended to first treat it properly before trying to conceive. Otherwise, consider that if you start treatment during pregnancy, it could certainly be harmful to the child. It can also cause itching and discomfort. Please pay attention to visiting a gynecologist for examination and treatment until it is fully resolved. You can take this opportunity to prepare for pregnancy. Generally, doctors will advise patients with signs of potential reproductive risks to maintain good personal hygiene and avoid sexual activity. Additionally, patients should also create an environment that promotes emotional stability and stress relief. Wishing you a healthy delivery.
