Patient's question:
What should I do if I get vaginal infections during pregnancy and they keep coming back even after stopping medication? Things got better after taking medication, but then the white discharge returned after a short while.Doctor's answer:
Hello, I suggest you do a routine vaginal discharge test to determine the specific type of vaginitis for targeted treatment. Vaginitis can be of various types, such as fungal, trichomoniasis, and mixed-bacteria vaginitis. It is important to get a definitive diagnosis before starting targeted treatment for better results. Currently, you can use baking soda or Jie Er Yin to clean the external genitalia and vagina, change underwear daily, and wash it together with towels and basins. In summary, do not take this lightly—actively get tested and start targeted treatment. For this condition, you can try using topical gynecological washes and suppositories, combined with oral anti-inflammatory medication. It is essential to take the medication on schedule and avoid sexual activity during treatment. It is best for both partners to be treated together. Drink plenty of water, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and refrain from smoking and alcohol. Pay attention to hygiene in the genital area and follow up for. Wishing you good health.
