How to solve vulvar itching in pregnant women

For women, vulvar itching is often very embarrassing, especially when they are out and about. Fortunately, with the development of medicine, a series of drugs have appeared to help women get rid of the embarrassment of vulvar itching. However, for pregnant women, their immunity becomes weaker during pregnancy, which makes it easy for some bacteria to invade the body. However, considering the baby, they cannot use drugs casually. So how should they solve vulvar itching?

Experts remind that for vulvar itching, relevant examinations must be done to find out the real cause of vulvar itching and treat it symptomatically. Do not take antibiotics indiscriminately. In addition, for patients with some special cases of vulvar itching, it is recommended to check blood sugar and arrange appropriate treatment to get rid of the trouble of vulvar itching.

However, pregnant women must treat vulvar itching thoroughly. Never stop taking the medicine as soon as your symptoms improve. Experts warn patients that they should pay attention to the following when treating vulvar itching during pregnancy: within 12 weeks of pregnancy, you can wash the vulva and vagina, and change your underwear every day, washing and ironing it together with a 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.

Three common treatment methods are:

1. General treatment: Pay attention to menstrual hygiene and keep the vulva clean and dry. Avoid scratching, washing with hot water, and using soap. When there is an infection, use a sitz bath with a medicated solution. The underwear should be breathable and loose, and avoid alcohol and spicy or allergic foods.

2. Treatment according to the disease: Trichomonas vaginitis can be treated by external washing with special medicine, and then oral or vaginal medication. Take 3 times a day for 7 consecutive days. Couples can take it together. Apply the medicine vaginally, once every night for 7 consecutive days. Repeat the above treatment 3 days after the next menstruation is over. If the test is negative for three consecutive times, the patient is considered cured. During the treatment period, sexual intercourse is prohibited and medication is not allowed during menstruation. Repeat once 3 days after the next menstrual period is over, and repeat 3 times in total. Patients are considered cured if three consecutive vaginal discharge tests are negative.

3. Symptomatic treatment: clinical treatment based on the physical condition of the pregnant woman.
