Patient's question:
Please. I might be pregnant now. But my private area is very itchy, a bit like trichomoniasis. I heard that pregnant women cannot take metronidazole. What should I do?Duration of onset and symptoms: Over a month
Medical history: I have had medication-induced abortion and surgical abortion.
First follow-up question: Thank you for your answer
It's extremely itchy at night. Is there any good way to relieve the itching? I can't take it anymore. It's so itchy, so itchy, and when it's itchy, I just want to scratch it. I hope you can help me.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description, this may be due to irritation of the vagina caused by medication used to treat vaginitis.Recommendation: It is recommended to continue monitoring the situation. If the itching does not improve after more than a day, this may indicate an unsuitable medication, and it is necessary to stop taking it promptly and switch to another medication for treatment.
The occurrence of trichomoniasis not only affects the patient's life but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo an ultrasound examination in the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Additionally, pay attention to dietary adjustments, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, irritating, and cold foods.
