Pregnant woman vaginal pain

Vaginal pain is a symptom that many pregnant women experience. This symptom also requires timely treatment and care for pregnant women, because if the pregnant woman is unwell, it will affect her mood, and if she is in a bad mood, it will directly affect the baby's development. So, what should pregnant women do if they experience vaginal pain during pregnancy? Here are some effective solutions for you!

1. Lifestyle Adjustment

1. Pay attention to personal hygiene and keep the vulva clean and dry; wash and change underwear frequently, do not share bath towels or bathtubs with others, do not wear underwear made of nylon or similar fabrics, and bath towels and underwear used during illness should be boiled and disinfected.

2. Strengthen health publicity, and conduct regular censuses and treatments for female workers and students in factories, institutions, and residents, especially in dormitories, to eliminate sources of infection.

3. Sexual intercourse is prohibited during treatment, or condoms should be used to prevent cross infection. Vaginal medication and sitz baths should be avoided during menstruation. Women with recurrent episodes should check their husband's urine and prostatic fluid, and repeat the tests if necessary. If positive, both should be treated together.

2. Diet adjustment

The diet should be light, and spicy food should be avoided to prevent the generation of damp heat or damage to yin blood. Pay attention to dietary nutrition and strengthen your physical fitness to drive away evil spirits.

3. Mental conditioning

Patients with vaginitis should stabilize their emotions, cultivate their temperament, and receive psychological treatment based on the patient's personality and the causes of the disease, as well as strengthen their exercise, enhance their physical fitness, and improve their own immune function. Actively eliminate the inducing factors and promptly treat various inflammations of the reproductive organs.

IV. Treatment Methods

If you suffer from vaginitis during pregnancy, you should go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment to determine the type of vaginitis you have and receive targeted treatment. It should be noted that the treatment in the early, middle and late pregnancy is different. Generally, no treatment is required in the first three months of pregnancy. If the condition is more serious, the doctor will use medication as appropriate to ensure that it does not cause infection to the fetus. Since oral medications have the risk of causing teratogenicity to the fetus, local treatment is generally adopted. It is best to first choose some Chinese herbal lotions to improve the itching symptoms. If the infection is more serious, you can perform vaginal scrubbing and then apply suppositories locally in the vagina. However, these processes must be completed by the hospital's obstetrics and gynecology nurses to avoid adverse effects of the drugs on the fetus.

In addition to the doctor's treatment, if the expectant mother feels that the itching caused by external factors is unbearable, she should not scratch it or scrub it directly with hot water. Instead, she should apply local wet compresses with lotion and change underwear frequently. Vaginal fungi are afraid of high temperatures. Pregnant mothers can soak their changed underwear in hot water above 60℃ every day to achieve better disinfection effect.
