Brief Answer: can use candid cl vaginal tablets,continue zole f. Detailed Answer: Dear XXXXXXX Thanks for writing to healthcare magic. Pregnancy causes some hormone changes that cause itching and discharge. Zole f ointment is ok for itching outside the vagina but discharge which comes from inside will require medications. You asked about candid cl tablets. You can use them. Use at night just before retiring to bed. Do not pass urine immediately to prevent tablet from falling off. Avoid intercourse during the treatment. Use a wash like INTIWASH OR V-Wash for washing the genital area. Try to keep area dry as much as possible. Sometimes in pregnancy there is glucose intolerance or what is called as diabetes of pregnancy. Please discuss with your doctor about glucose tolerance test as sugar problems in pregnancy may also cause increased itching. Emotional and behavior changes are common during pregnancy. It may not be developed to Zole ointment . Try relaxation, breathing exercise. Many women are anxious especially in 1st pregnancy which is normal. Please write back if you have any queries. Thanks Dr Bhagyashree
