Patient's question:
Hello, I am now about 5 months pregnant, but recently my vagina has been itchy, and there is some-like discharge when I wash. Will this affect the fetus? YearsDoctor's answer:
During the 3 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 inserted 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.
