Patient's question:
In the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, the vulva feels a bit itchy. Can I use a gynecological wash?Doctor's answer:
Your condition is mostly related to vaginitis. The hospital will conduct a routine examination of vaginal discharge to determine which bacterial infection is present before starting symptomatic treatment. Since different types of vaginitis require different medications, it's important for both partners to be treated to prevent cross-infection. In the early stages of pregnancy, only external genital cleaning with a solution can be done under the guidance of a doctor. In the middle and late stages of pregnancy, intravaginal medication and oral medication can be used for comprehensive treatment. Undergarments should be washed separately and undergo full sterilization. Sunlight exposure after washing is recommended. Intercourse should be avoided during treatment.
