Question
Hello doctor,
I am currently 15 weeks pregnant. I have itching in my private area and there is little discharge like poop. The doctor asked me, is it okay to have a discharge like pea residue while pregnant? Can I use polygynax suppositories? Thank you.

Hello,
To the question "Is it okay to have a discharge like peas while pregnant?", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
According to the information described, you are currently 15 weeks pregnant, If you have vaginal itching and little discharge like poop, you may have a vaginal yeast infection. If you take polygynax suppositories will also be effective. However, you should visit a specialist for a detailed diagnosis and advice, to avoid affecting the fetus.
Besides using medicine, you should apply the following measures to limit vaginitis during pregnancy:
Do not try to endure vaginal itching because you think that taking medicine will affect the baby in the belly. Limit daily use of tampons continuously. Wear loose and breathable underwear (preferably cotton). Limit the number of times you have sex and practice good hygiene before and after sex. Clean the vaginal area daily. Exercise gently, maintain a scientific, healthy lifestyle. Eat yogurt products that are rich in beneficial bacteria. Wash and dry underwear in the sun. If possible, iron your underwear with a hot iron to kill any remaining fungal spores. If you still have questions about bad breath, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
