How should a pregnant woman deal with recurrent fungal vaginitis?

Patient's question:

Pregnancy from month 3 to month 5, candidal vulvovaginitis

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to your condition, it is classified as vaginitis. Treatment for candidal vaginitis:
(1) General treatment: Actively treat other diseases that can cause candidal vaginitis and eliminate susceptible factors.
(2) Changing the vaginal pH: The optimal pH for the growth of Candida is 5.5. Therefore, using alkaline solutions to rinse the external genitalia and vagina can alter the vaginal pH, inhibiting the growth and reproduction of Candida. A 2%–4% baking soda solution can be used to rinse the vagina once or twice daily, with 2 weeks constituting one course of treatment.
(3) Vaginal medication: Using imidazole suppositories for vaginal medication is highly effective for candidal vaginitis. Clotrimazole suppositories: One suppository per night, inserted into the vagina after rinsing, with 10–14 days constituting one course of treatment; or Daktarin suppositories: One suppository per night, inserted into the vagina after rinsing, with 7 days constituting one course of treatment.
