Patient's question:
What should a pregnant woman do if she gets vaginitis? Can she buy some medicine to treat it?Doctor's answer:
You experienced a fungal vaginal infection during your pregnancy. You need to pay special attention to the fact that local treatment should be the primary approach, and oral medication should be avoided as much as possible. You can use medications such as clotrimazole suppositories or miconazole nitrate suppositories, with a 7-day course showing good efficacy. Here, it is emphasized that you should pay attention to different medication use in the early stage of pregnancy compared to the middle and late stages. Some medications can affect fetal development, so you should use medications under the guidance of a doctor and must not use them arbitrarily on your own.
