Can a woman with candidal vaginitis have an abortion?

Patient's question:

White discharge is slightly yellow now, external itching

Doctor's answer:

Have you undergone a confirmed examination? How long have you been pregnant?
Medical Advice: The most common symptoms of candidiasis infection include leukorrhea that appears as curd-like or in pieces, severe redness and swelling of the vaginal mucosa, visible white thrush-like patches that are easily detachable, with eroded mucosal bases underneath or shallow ulcers formed. In severe cases, bruising may be left behind. There may also be burning and itching in the external genitalia and vagina, as well as difficulty urinating due to external factors.
Generally speaking, it is possible to have an abortion within the first 13 weeks of pregnancy, but the specific condition depends on the size of the gestational sac. It is recommended that you first undergo a leukorrhea test to confirm whether it is a candidiasis infection. If it is, basic anti-inflammatory treatment should be administered before the abortion. Strong anti-inflammatory treatment can be given for several days to assess the condition. Typically, the surgery can be performed after about 3 days of treatment, but there may be individual differences in drug sensitivity.
