Patient's question:
I am currently 3 months pregnant. Now, I don't know what's going on, but I have severe itching in the lower body, and it's a bit painful. I don't know if I can take anti-inflammatory medication right now. I don't know how to treat it or what medication I can use.Doctor's answer:
During the first 3 months of pregnancy, treatment is not recommended. After that, based on the severity of the condition, safe medication will be administered to the pregnant woman. To prevent reinfection, towels and underwear should be boiled for 5 to 10 minutes daily to eliminate pathogens. During 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.
