What to do if you have vaginitis during pregnancy

Many female friends are worried about suffering from vaginitis, especially those who are pregnant. Women are more vulnerable during pregnancy and minor illnesses must be treated promptly, so vaginitis should be taken more seriously. So, what should women do when they encounter vaginitis during pregnancy?

Pregnancy is the most sacred moment for women, because it is the process of nurturing life and a very important period in women's life. However, women's resistance is also the weakest at this time, and some bacteria will take advantage of the situation and invade, leading to the onset of gynecological inflammation. Among them, the troublesome candidal vaginitis is the most common reproductive disease during pregnancy. Therefore, experts say that vaginitis must be actively treated to avoid adverse effects on the fetus.

Generally speaking, women do not need to receive treatment in the first three months of pregnancy. If vaginitis develops more seriously, the doctor will use medication to treat it after the third month of pregnancy to reduce the chance of affecting the fetus, and it can usually be cured before the woman gives birth.

When a woman is treating vaginitis, it is recommended that her husband also go to the hospital for relevant examinations. If the infection is treated at the same time, the treatment of vaginitis can achieve better results. Because the urine sugar content of women with vaginitis will increase during pregnancy, and they are in a specific metabolic period, they are very likely to have diabetes. Therefore, women should control their diet, increase exercise appropriately, and maintain normal blood sugar levels. This is also a key to treating vaginitis during pregnancy.

Treatment considerations:

1. Follow the doctor's advice and take correct and effective treatment. The treatment process must be completed under the guidance of a professional doctor, and remember not to use drugs privately; in addition, the severity of vaginitis is different for each patient, and the medication is also different. In order to achieve the goal of complete cure, you must take medication according to the doctor's orders, go to the hospital for treatment regularly, and have follow-up visits and reexaminations.

3. Adjust your diet. The diet should be light, and eat more foods rich in vitamins. Avoid spicy, stimulating, sweet and heavy foods to avoid generating damp heat or damaging yin blood. Smoking and drinking are prohibited to avoid aggravating vaginitis.

4. Use antibiotics with caution. If antibiotics are used excessively, it can easily lead to drug resistance and damage to the liver, kidneys, and hematopoietic system, so they should be used with caution.

5. Keep private parts clean. Change underwear frequently, wash it separately, disinfect it thoroughly, and place it in a ventilated and dry place to prevent reinfection due to unclean underwear. In addition, underwear should be made of pure cotton and breathable material. Avoid wearing tight and non-breathable underwear to keep the private parts breathable; wash the private parts frequently to keep them clean and hygienic.

6. Husband and wife shall rule together. Many gynecological inflammations can be transmitted through sexual intercourse, so couples should seek diagnosis and treatment together. Due to the particularity of the site of onset of gynecological inflammation, if the sexual partner is not examined and treated at the same time, even if the patient herself has controlled the inflammation, she may be reinfected and relapse. Therefore, the husband or sexual partner should be examined and treated at the same time.

7. Avoid sexual intercourse. Avoid sexual intercourse during vaginitis to avoid cross infection and worsening inflammation.

8. Stabilize emotions and enhance physical fitness.
