Patient's question:
Pregnant women have a lot of vaginal discharge with a bad odor.Doctor's answer:
Hello! It is suspected to be vaginitis. It is recommended to undergo a routine vaginal discharge test to confirm the type of infection before starting treatment. Pay attention to hygiene, clean the external genitalia daily, and change underwear frequently. Boil underwear and towels after use, and frequently sun dry bedding. Avoid sexual intercourse. If symptoms such as external genital itching occur, you may use traditional Chinese medicine for external genital washing to soak in the bath. Do not scratch, as it may cause skin and mucosal damage to the external genitalia, leading to secondary infections. Stop sexual activity during treatment, and the husband should also undergo a urological examination. If infection is found in the urine, timely treatment should be administered. Avoid spicy foods, such as common spicy foods like chili, pepper, and curry, as well as hot foods like mutton, dog meat, and longan. Avoid seafood, such as shrimp, crabs, and shellfish, as well as sweet and greasy foods, as they may worsen itching.
