Patient's question:
I am 27 weeks pregnant with my second child (my first was premature at 35 weeks). In the past few days, I've occasionally experienced contractions, usually about 5 times a day, and there are a few streaks of blood in my discharge. Currently, I don't feel any discomfort, but I do have a fungal vaginal infection. Doctor, how serious is this issue? If I go into premature labor, will the baby survive?Doctor's answer:
Don't be too nervous. During pregnancy, everyone experiences physiological contractions. Since your first baby was born at 35 weeks, you might have cervical shortening and relaxation, which could have led to your previous early birth? You mentioned that your leukorrhea contains blood streaks. Before pregnancy, you had candidiasis vaginitis, and you might have needed vaginal medication. Otherwise, if the symptoms of vaginitis are not relieved, it could lead to downward infection, which would not be good. Candidiasis vaginitis can be treated during pregnancy.
