Patient's question:
I am 37 weeks pregnant. During a vaginal examination in the second month of pregnancy, trichomoniasis was detected, grade 2.After 24 weeks, I used metronidazole vaginal effervescent tablets. At that time, there was some improvement, but it recurred after a few days. Until now, I still have light green vaginal discharge, sometimes with itching. I really want to give birth naturally to this child. Could you please tell me what the infection rate for the baby is? Or what are the best measures I can take now? Do I have to choose a cesarean section? Please help me. Thank you.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is recommended to do a routine leukorrhea test to help. Under the guidance of a doctor, take active and specific treatment measures. Natural childbirth may carry the risk of infecting the child. The specific probability is difficult to determine. Trichomoniasis not only affects women's bodies but also leads to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to go to the gynecology department of the hospital for a leukorrhea test, identify the cause, and then treat accordingly. In daily life, it is important to drink more water and pay attention to personal hygiene.
