Just found out I have a yeast infection after being pregnant for a month, what should I do?

Patient's question:

What should I do if I have a fungal vaginal infection? Does it affect the fetus! Onset time: 5 days

Doctor's answer:

Pregnant women with candidal vulvovaginitis. The treatment method is as follows:
For pregnancy within 12 weeks, 2%-3% soda water or Jie'eryin can be used to clean the external genitalia and vagina. At the same time, underwear should be changed daily, and it should be washed and disinfected together with towels and basins.
After pregnancy exceeds 12 weeks, after cleaning as described above, gently dry the external genitalia and place nystatin, miconazole, or clotrimazole suppositories deep into the vagina, to be used every night before bed. If there is vulvitis, Daqin cream can be applied to the external genitalia.
Generally, a course of treatment lasts for 10-14 days. After stopping medication for 7 days, a follow-up examination should be conducted. If symptoms disappear after 2 weeks, a third examination for candidiasis should be performed. Treatment can only be terminated upon complete recovery.
After 35 weeks of pregnancy, to avoid intrauterine infection, vaginal procedures should not be performed.
