Patient's question:
Over ten days ago, I started experiencing itching in the external genital area, but I don't know what caused it. So far, I haven't used any medication. I'm pregnant and I'm afraid to use anything, but I'm also worried that delaying treatment might affect the fetus. What should I do now?Doctor's answer:
Hello, in this case, it is still necessary to go to the hospital early to check the routine of leukorrhea for a clear diagnosis and timely treatment. The possibility of candidal vulvovaginitis cannot be ruled out. If it is vaginitis, it still needs to be treated in a timely manner. Under the doctor's advice, choose targeted medication, pay attention to personal hygiene, change underwear daily, wear loose and breathable pure cotton underwear, and have regular prenatal examinations. The occurrence of candidal vulvovaginitis not only affects the patient's body but also leads to the occurrence of gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to go to the gynecology department of the hospital for an ultrasound examination, identify the cause, and then treat accordingly. Pay attention to dietary regulation in daily life, eat light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
