Can pregnant women use Vaseline?

Patient's question:

I got married last year, and recently I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain. It's especially bad during my period, and I'm very worried it might affect fertility. Also, I'm extremely sensitive to cold and cold drafts. Can pregnant women use Vaseline?

Doctor's answer:

You can apply petroleum jelly. Since petroleum jelly is an oily substance, and it's used externally, it won't enter the body at all, so you can use it freely without worrying about any effects on the fetus.
Hello, the folds you mentioned in the vagina are not growths. If there were any growths, the doctor would be able to see them during the examination, so there's no need to worry. Pay attention to hygiene and clean frequently.
