Patient's question:
All symptoms: Developed candidiasis vaginitis at 45 days of pregnancy Onset time and cause: Treatment: No longer itchy after rinsing with salt water Desired help: Can I rinse the vagina with salt water if I have candidiasis vaginitis while pregnant?Doctor's answer:
If you get vaginitis, just rinse the vaginal area with cool boiled water. This is mainly because the female vaginal area is a natural ecosystem of microbial communities. Using salt water to clean the external genitalia can disrupt the pH balance inside the vagina, potentially damaging its acid-base equilibrium. It may even have the opposite effect, favoring the growth of pathogens and worsening the symptoms of candidiasis. Diluted salt water has a certain irritating effect, so it is not recommended for frequent use.If you have candidiasis, you need to actively treat other conditions that may have caused the inflammation and eliminate predisposing factors. Maintain cleanliness and dryness of the external genitalia, and avoid scratching. During the treatment of candidiasis, sexual activity should be avoided. Avoid consuming spicy or irritating foods. Additionally, it is important to stay active and boost your immune system. Special medication solutions should be used for candidiasis. Anti-inflammatory medications require a doctor's examination of vaginal discharge to tailor treatment to each individual's specific condition.
