Patient's question:
I am 15 weeks pregnant and have been diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis. The test results are as follows: Cleanliness III grade, epithelial cells +/HPF, white blood cells ++/HPF, trichomonas negative (-), no Gram-negative diplococci or fungi observed. My obstetrician recommended that I buy lactobacillus vaginal capsules. Is this medication safe, and does it have any impact on the baby at all? Additionally, I have been experiencing a faster heartbeat and poor sleep since becoming pregnant. I consulted my obstetrician about whether supplemental oxygen could be used for treatment, but she told me that a fast heartbeat and sleep have no relation to each other and suggested I get an electrocardiogram. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
Your condition can be treated well with the Chinese herbal medicine Fuyanping Capsules (vaginal suppository), and it generally does not have an impact on the fetus.
