Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Is the fetus stable at 21 weeks of pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Hello, at 21 weeks of pregnancy, the fetus has already developed the placenta, so it is relatively stable. Regular follow-up is needed to monitor development.Pregnant women can use saline to clean the vagina, but avoid vigorous cleaning. During pregnancy, hormone levels change, weakening the vagina's protective ability, which may lead to increased discharge and itching in the outer genital area. This is generally normal, and symptoms usually subside after delivery. Do not use medication blindly; consult a doctor before taking any medication.
For your condition, it is recommended to pay attention to personal hygiene, keep the outer genital area clean and dry, and change underwear frequently. After washing, dry the underwear in the sun or in a well-ventilated area. It is best to use clean water for cleaning and avoid frequent use of saline for cleaning.
