Having vaginitis before pregnancy is not necessarily related to having cytomegalovirus infection after pregnancy.
The causes of vaginitis before pregnancy are usually due to bacterial infections, Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections, Trichomonas vaginalis infections, etc., and are generally not related to cytomegalovirus infections.
Cytomegalovirus infection in pregnant women may be caused by behaviors such as respiratory droplets, blood transfusion, and sexual contact, and may be transmitted vertically from mother to child, resulting in congenital cytomegalovirus infection, leading to malformations or death of the fetus. There is no better treatment for cytomegalovirus infection during pregnancy than screening and pregnancy counseling.
If sore throat, fever, or myalgia occurs during pregnancy, prompt medical attention should be sought. Once cytomegalovirus infection is diagnosed, fetal heart rate monitoring should be initiated, and if miscarriage or stillbirth occurs, immediate medical attention should be sought.
