Patient's question:
Doctor, I would like to consult a few things. Today I had a thorough examination for vaginitis, and it has been itchy for 4-5 days. The test results showed negative for trichomonas, mold, and candidiasis. The cleanliness level was rated as grade 3. The doctor said the cleanliness level is not yet sufficient. What could be causing the inflammation? What about the damp scrotum? Should I avoid cold foods in winter? I change my underwear every day. What could be related to this? I have been pregnant for over a month now. When can I have the first ultrasound to check how the baby is growing?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to clarify this for you. The "cleanliness degree" of three just indicates a bit of bacterial vaginosis, which is nothing serious. Since you're in the early stages of pregnancy, you can't apply medication vaginally, but you can maintain (change your underwear frequently) and use a wash solution to clean the external genital area, which will also help with treatment. Avoid using sanitary pads and only wear cotton underwear. Around 45 to 50 days, you can have an ultrasound to check the growth and development of the fetus's gestational sac.
