Hi Doc I am about 30 wks pregnant I last had sex sunday evening which was 3 days ago with my partner suddenly yesterday I started itchy on my cliter it was slightly bleeding the itch has even make it swell up a bit what can I use and what is the cause of it thank you
Hi, It is likely to be due to vaginitis. Please do not douche or use any strong soap solutions. Do not scratch as the tissues are very vulnerable to bleed, more so in pregnancy due to the increased vascular supply. Please consult your gynecologist for a local examination and a vaginal swab. You may need pessaries to relieve the itch. Oral medications are usually avoided in pregnancy as they can cause gastritis more easily. See if your partner needs treatment and avoid further sexual intercourse until properly healed, and use protection. Hope this helps.
