Patient's question:
Can you buy medicine and treat yourself?Doctor's answer:
During the first 3 months of pregnancy, 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 going to bed 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.
