Please visit your gynaecologist as soon as possible for a quick check-up. While increased vaginal discharge is normal during pregnancy, persistent itching for a week usually indicates a fungal or bacterial infection. These are very common during pregnancy due to hormonal changes, but they require safe, doctor-prescribed treatments. Please strictly avoid self-medicating or using random over-the-counter creams, as only your doctor can prescribe pregnancy-safe medication.
While you wait for your appointment, follow these safe comfort tips:
- Maintain gentle hygiene: Wash the outer area with plain, lukewarm water and gently pat dry. Avoid scented soaps, intimate washes, or douching.
- Wear loose cotton: Use breathable, 100% cotton innerwear and avoid tight pants to prevent moisture and sweat buildup.
- Dietary support: Eat a bowl of fresh, homemade curd (dahi) daily for natural probiotics, and stay well-hydrated throughout the day.
