Patient's question:
I'm pregnant and recently feel discomfort down there with constant wet white discharge. What should I do during pregnancy? I don't know how to treat it. Will treatment affect the baby? What medicine can solve this?Doctor's answer:
After getting pregnant, due to hormonal changes in the body, it is normal for secretions to increase again. If you experience abnormal vaginal discharge with an odor, itching of the external genitalia, etc., you should go to the hospital for a check-up. If there is only excessive discharge without other discomforts, you can rinse the external genitalia with warm water and change your underwear frequently. If you notice that the discharge is like cottage cheese, turns yellow, becomes watery or foamy, has a fishy or other odor, or is accompanied by itching of the external genitalia, you should seek medical attention promptly.
