How to handle itching in the vaginal area during pregnancy

Patient's question:

It's very frightening when this happens. I often experience lower abdominal pain and don't know how to solve it, so I came here to consult. Please ask how to handle vaginal itching when pregnant.

Doctor's answer:

Considering it may be caused by fungal vaginitis during pregnancy, it is important to maintain a balanced diet, keep the vaginal area clean, avoid harmful stimuli, and supplement with vitamin C. It is best not to use medication blindly and to seek proper medical examination and treatment at a formal hospital. It could also be caused by high blood pressure, requiring medications such as antihypertensive drugs, vasodilators, lipid-lowering agents, anticoagulants, and diuretics. A light diet and low-sodium diet are recommended. Avoid spicy, alcoholic, greasy, and other irritating foods. Do not consume animal organs.
