What should pregnant women do if they have itching down there?

Pregnant women are prone to private itching during pregnancy, so they should be more cautious and not take medication indiscriminately to avoid affecting the fetus. The most important thing is to keep clean and hygienic. If the condition is really serious, consult a doctor for medication.

1. Generally speaking, pregnant women should do a good job of prevention, pay attention to the hygiene of private parts, keep the vulva clean and dry, do not scratch it with your hands, and do not use hot water and soap to wash the lower part because it is irritating. It is best to use warm water for washing, and towels should be regularly sterilized at high temperature and exposed to the sun.

2. In addition, you must remember your own pathological characteristics. If you find that you have vulvar itching, you should go to the hospital in time, explain your true situation to the doctor clearly, and actively cooperate with the doctor to do relevant examinations. Do not take antibiotics indiscriminately on your own. It is safer for the doctor to prescribe the right medicine based on your actual situation.

3. When a pregnant woman finds that she has external itching, she should discuss with her partner and not have sex until the treatment is completed. She should also ask her partner to pay attention to personal hygiene.

4. Pregnant women must treat vulvar itching thoroughly and must not stop taking medication just because the symptoms have eased. They must actively cooperate with the doctor for treatment based on the specific circumstances of their pregnancy.

5. After the pregnant woman has cured the vulvar itching, she should go to the hospital for regular check-ups according to the doctor's advice to ensure that the condition has been cured.

6. It is recommended to eat a light diet and maintain a good mood during the illness, and do not be anxious or overly worried.
