Patient's question:
There are also those who are trying to conceive. In the previous few days, there was some gynecological inflammation with itching and a foreign body sensation. I inserted three tubes of the double zolate ointment prescribed by the doctor before. However, my period arrived a few days late. If I really am pregnant, will using this medication affect the fetus?Doctor's answer:
During the first 3 months of pregnancy, treatment is not recommended. After that, safe medication will be administered to the pregnant woman based on the severity of the condition. To prevent reinfection, towels and underwear should be boiled for 5 to 10 minutes daily to eliminate pathogens. In the second and third trimesters, vaginal suppositories such as metronidazole can be used. One suppository should be inserted deep into the vagina after washing the external genitalia before bedtime each night. The treatment duration is 10 days. In the early stages of pregnancy, use should be cautious, and Baofukang suppositories can be used as an alternative. Sexual activity should be avoided during treatment.
