Patient's question:
I am currently 3 months pregnant. Now, I don't know what's going on, but I have severe itching in my lower body, and it's a bit swollen and painful. I don't know if I can take anti-inflammatory medication now. I don't know how to treat it or what medication I can use.Doctor's answer:
During the three months of the pre-pregnancy period, treatment is not recommended. After that, safe medication will be administered to the pregnant woman based on the severity of the condition. To prevent reinfection, towels and underwear should be boiled for 5 to 10 minutes daily to eliminate pathogens. In the second and third trimesters, vaginal suppositories such as metronidazole can be used. One suppository should be placed deep into the vagina after washing the external genitalia before bedtime each night. The treatment course lasts for 10 days. In the early stages of pregnancy, use should be cautious, and Baofukang suppositories can be used as an alternative. Sexual activity should be avoided during treatment.
