Patient's question:
I've been feeling unwell throughout my pregnancy.Vaginal itching, excessive discharge, lower abdominal discomfort sometimes like menstrual cramps, soreness, and back pain.
Initially, the discharge was white and curd-like, and later it turned green and had a foul odor.
On November 5th, I had a 4D ultrasound at Maria Hospital, where they said the placenta was low-lying, 6.1mm from the internal cervical os.
The doctor prescribed Baofukang suppositories for vaginitis, but after using them for 7 days, the itching still persisted even after urination.
Doctor's answer:
Vaginitis, Candidal Vaginitis Treatment:(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 Candida growth is 5.5. Therefore, using alkaline solutions to rinse the external genitalia and vagina to alter the vaginal pH can inhibit 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 ointments for vaginal medication is highly effective for candidal vaginitis. Clotrimazole suppositories, one per night, are inserted into the vagina after rinsing, with 10–14 days constituting one course of treatment; or Daktarin suppositories, one per night, are applied to the vagina after rinsing, with 7 days constituting one course of treatment. Early recovery.
