Patient's question:
Now I am more than 8 months pregnant. Since getting pregnant, I have had mold. In the past two months, my leukorrhea has been like cottage cheese, with external genital itching and a bad odor. I have been using baking soda to wash my external genital area, but it's not effective. Will this interfere with the baby?Doctor's answer:
Women with vaginitis cannot give birth vaginally. The vagina is the birth canal through which the baby passes during a vaginal delivery. If a woman develops vaginitis during pregnancy, it is essential to seek treatment promptly. If the infection does not clear up before labor, a vaginal delivery should not be considered, as this can lead to the baby contracting the infection through the birth canal. Once the baby is infected, the condition can be difficult to treat. If the vaginitis has not healed before labor, it is best to opt for a cesarean section.
