Pregnant, but have a bad smell in vaginal discharge, will it affect the baby?

Patient's question:

I have had inflammation before and went to the hospital for examination and treatment. Later, the odor and leukorrhea improved, but this month I got pregnant, and my leukorrhea increased along with odor. I suspect that during my treatment, my husband did not get treated with me and passed it back to me. Could this affect the baby? What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

Consider the possibility of vaginitis. It is recommended to pay attention to personal hygiene and maintain clean and dry external genitalia. Avoid scratching, hot water bathing, and using soap. When infected, use potassium permanganate solution for sitz baths. Underwear should be breathable and loose-fitting, and avoid alcohol as well as spicy or allergenic foods. It is best to go to the hospital for a routine vaginal discharge test to identify the specific inflammation and then treat accordingly. As long as you maintain good personal hygiene and avoid infecting the uterus during pregnancy, there will be no problem. Vaginal inflammation and cervical erosion will not have any impact, as most women experience these conditions.
