During pregnancy, women with fungal vaginitis should avoid using antibiotics arbitrarily, maintain proper hygiene of the genital area, and abstain from sexual intercourse. Pregnant women with fungal vaginitis should not frequently use acidic cleaning products such as laundry detergents or disinfectant pads, as these can easily promote fungal growth and worsen the condition. Fungal vaginitis is commonly transmitted due to poor lifestyle habits and inadequate personal hygiene.
