Patient's question:
I'm pregnant with 163, and it's itchy downstairs. The hospital did a thorough check and said it's a fungal vaginal infection. I used baking soda to wash it, and it's all better now. But it's started itching again these last couple of days. Could you please tell me how to treat it and if it affects the child?Doctor's answer:
During pregnancy, the increase in vaginal glycogen makes it easier to contract candidiasis. Pay attention to hygiene, change underwear and pants frequently, and wash underwear with boiling water. Do not air-dry them; expose them to sunlight for ultraviolet radiation. In the second trimester of pregnancy, you can use nystatin suppositories alternately to treat it.The above advice is for the question "Pregnant at 163 weeks, itching downstairs, the hospital examination said it was candidiasis." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
