Patient's question:
How should it be treated? Can topical medication still be used? Does it affect the fetus?Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Within the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, you can use 2%-3% soda water and Jieryin to clean the external genitalia and vagina. At the same time, change underwear daily and wash and sterilize it together with towels and basins. After the 12th week of pregnancy, after cleaning as described above, gently dry the external genitalia and place nystatin suppositories deep in the vagina, using them before going to bed every night. If there is vulvitis, you can apply Daktarin cream to the external genitalia. Generally, a course of treatment lasts for 10-14 days. After stopping the medication for 7 days, a follow-up examination is required. Symptoms should disappear for 2 weeks after the second follow-up for fungal tests, and treatment can only be ended upon full recovery. After the 35th week of pregnancy, to avoid intrauterine infection, vaginal procedures should not be performed.Advice: Pay attention to personal hygiene, keep the external genitalia clean and dry, change underwear frequently, and use personal external genitalia utensils exclusively. Wash used underwear, towels, and basins with boiling water and expose them to sunlight for drying.
