Patient's question:
In the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, the vulva feels a bit itchy. Can I use a gynecological wash?Doctor's answer:
Your condition is mostly related to vaginitis. The hospital will conduct a routine examination of vaginal discharge to determine which type of bacterial infection it is, followed by symptomatic treatment. Since different types of vaginitis require different medications, it is recommended that both partners be treated to prevent cross-infection. In the early stages of pregnancy, only external genital cleaning with a liquid solution can be done under the guidance of a doctor. In the middle and late stages of pregnancy, internal vaginal medication and oral medication can be used for comprehensive treatment. Undergarments should be washed separately and undergo full sterilization. Sunlight exposure after washing is recommended for daily hygiene. During the treatment period, sexual intercourse should be avoided.
