Patient's question:
All symptoms: Developed candidal vulvovaginitis at 45 days of pregnancy, using saline to rinse the vagina can suppress itching Onset time and cause: Treatment status: Desired help: Does rinsing the vagina with saline have any adverse effects on the fetus?Doctor's answer:
During pregnancy, due to changes in vaginal pH, it is easy to develop candidal vulvovaginitis. It can be treated with a mild saltwater rinse locally, which will not affect the fetus. This is because hormonal changes during pregnancy can lead to increased vaginal discharge, which is normal. Maintaining good local hygiene can help alleviate this. Pregnant women should avoid getting colds and pay attention to reducing the intake of cold and irritating foods. It is recommended to monitor the condition of the discharge to ensure it is normal and actively prevent vulvovaginitis. Regular medical check-ups for the fetus are advised, and spicy foods should be avoided. Daily hygiene should be maintained, with frequent changes of underwear and thorough cleaning.
