Should I take folic acid tablets in the late stages of pregnancy?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Do I need to take folic acid tablets in the late stages of pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

Folic acid tablets are generally taken three months before pregnancy and in the first three months of pregnancy to reduce the risk of neural tube defects in the fetus. By the late stage of pregnancy, the fetus's organs are basically fully developed, so it may not be necessary to continue taking them. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects the patient's life but can also lead to the development of gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have a vaginal discharge test at the gynecology department of the hospital, identify the cause, and then receive targeted treatment. It is also important to drink more water and pay attention to personal hygiene.
