As childbirth approaches, if a fungal vaginal infection (yeast infection) occurs, it can be treated under a doctor's guidance by using a cleansing solution to wash the vaginal area or by using vaginal suppositories, both of which are effective for managing fungal vaginitis. Additionally, maintain a light diet and avoid excessively greasy or spicy foods to prevent worsening of symptoms. Follow medical instructions strictly regarding medication use during this period and do not misuse drugs on your own.
