Is it okay to rinse the vagina with vinegar and salt at seven months pregnant?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. May I ask if it's okay to rinse the vagina with vinegar and salt at the seventh month of pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, vaginitis that occurs during pregnancy requires attention to medication, as otherwise it may cause miscarriage or adverse effects on the fetus, and may also lead to malformation. High manganese potassium solution can be used for sitz baths, and medication should be used for systematic treatment after delivery. Regular vaginal discharge tests should be conducted. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects women's health but may also lead to further gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have a vaginal examination in the gynecology department of the hospital to identify the cause and provide symptomatic treatment. Pay attention to dietary regulation, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, irritating, and cold foods.
