What to do if pregnant women feel itchy and painful vulva

Becoming a mother and having a happy family is the dream of all girls and it is also a necessary process. During pregnancy, pregnant women are always worried about whether they will get any diseases during pregnancy and whether the medicines they take will have any effect on the baby? After a woman becomes pregnant, her body's immunity will be much weaker than before, and she is susceptible to various diseases. Vulvar itching is the most common disease among pregnant women.

If a pregnant woman experiences vulvar itching, she should go to the hospital for examination first, confirm the condition and then implement treatment based on syndrome differentiation.

1. Go to the hospital for a gynecological examination and routine examination of leucorrhea to find out whether you have vaginitis or vulvitis, make a clear diagnosis, and take medication as prescribed by the doctor. Do not blindly take medication on your own before a diagnosis is made to avoid delaying the disease or affecting the fetus.

2. If the condition is more serious, you must seek treatment immediately and go to the obstetrics and gynecology department of a regular hospital for examination. After finding out the cause, under the doctor's instructions, you should choose a drug system that has less impact on the fetus and conduct standardized treatment.

Pregnant women must treat vulvar itching thoroughly. Never stop taking the medicine as soon as your symptoms improve. Things to note when treating vulvar itching during pregnancy: Within 12 weeks of pregnancy, you can wash the vulva and vagina, change your underwear every day, and wash and iron it together with the towel and basin. After 12 weeks of pregnancy, after cleaning according to the above method, gently dry the vulva and place special medicine deep in the vagina. Use it every night before going to bed. If there is vulvitis, special medicine can be applied to the vulva. Generally, a course of treatment lasts 10-14 days. The patient should be rechecked 7 days after stopping the medication, and the fungus should be rechecked for the third time 2 weeks after the symptoms disappear. Treatment can be terminated after recovery. After 35 weeks of pregnancy, vaginal operations should not be performed to avoid intrauterine infection.
