Patient's question:
Doctor, hello!I had my last menstrual period on March 30th this year, and now I am 8 months and 21 days pregnant. However, there is one thing that has been worrying me. Since we did not have a pre-marital health check-up, on April 9th, I accidentally found out that my leukorrhea tested positive for chlamydia. The doctor prescribed azithromycin (I forgot the exact characters, but I am sure the pronunciation is correct).
Currently, I undergo regular prenatal check-ups, and everything is normal. But I am still very concerned. After taking azithromycin, I did not follow up for a recheck. Some doctors said that if the infection was already present in the early stages, it could affect the child and be harmful to it. Others said that even if I give birth via cesarean section, as long as the mother and child are in the same basin for laundry after birth, it should be fine.
Doctor's answer:
Hello: According to what you mentioned, your current situation does not need to be worried about. You just need to actively take good care of your personal pregnancy care. As for the child's condition, it can only be determined after birth. The occurrence of gynecological inflammation not only affects a woman's body but also leads to the occurrence of gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have a B check-up in the gynecology department of the hospital, identify the cause, and then treat accordingly. You should also pay attention to drinking more water and maintaining personal hygiene.
