Patient's question:
What should I do if I get a fungal vaginal infection during pregnancy??Will it be harmful to the fetus if I don't take medication??
First follow-up question: Can I use Daktarin suppositories??
Doctor's answer:
The treatment method is: For pregnancy within 12 weeks, 2% - 3% soda water or Jie'eryin can be used to clean the external genitalia and vagina, while underwear should be changed daily and washed together with towels and basins. After 12 weeks of pregnancy, after cleaning as described above, gently dry the external genitalia and place a Nystatin suppository, Miconazole, or Clotrimazole suppository deep into the vagina, to be used before bedtime each night; if vulvitis is present, Daktarin cream can be applied to the external genitalia. A course of treatment is generally 10-14 days, with a follow-up after stopping medication for 7 days. After symptoms disappear for 2 weeks, a third check for fungus is performed, and treatment can only be completed upon full recovery. After 35 weeks of pregnancy, to avoid intrauterine infection, vaginal procedures should not be performed.
