Patient's question:

What kind of help I need: What medicine can treat this without harming the child? Thank you.
Doctor's answer:
Vaginal itching may be caused by a bacterial infection leading to vaginitis. It is recommended to visit a hospital for a discharge test to determine which bacteria are causing the infection.Medical Advice: After identifying the type of vaginitis, symptomatic treatment should be administered. During pregnancy, medication should be taken under the guidance of a doctor to avoid potential adverse effects on fetal development.
After pregnancy, the increase in estrogen and progesterone in the body leads to an increase in vaginal discharge. If hygiene is not maintained or ventilation is poor, it may trigger an infection, characterized by abnormal discharge odor and changes in discharge consistency.
Medical Advice: It is recommended to undergo a gynecological examination and a leukorrhea test. Based on the examination results, local medication can be decided. During pregnancy, certain medications are not contraindicated, and drugs that do not affect fetal development can be selected. Otherwise, retrograde inflammation may lead to premature rupture of membranes, miscarriage, or preterm labor.
