Approaching delivery, if there is severe itching of the external genitalia caused by trichomonal vaginitis, vaginal suppositories can be used for treatment under a doctor's guidance. Commonly used medications include metronidazole suppositories and tinidazole suppositories. If the cause is vulvovaginal candidiasis, antifungal drugs can be used, such as clotrimazole suppositories, miconazole suppositories, etc.
