AB In  pregnancy,  bacterial  and  viral  lower  genital  tract  infections  are  common  and  generally  managed  medically.  Sexually  transmitted  diseases  (STDs)  such  as  gonorrhea,  trichomoniasis,  and  chlamydial  infection  are  treated  with  antibiotic  regimens  according  to  guidelines  outlined  by  the  Centers  for  Disease  Control  and  Prevention  (CDC)  (Workowski,  2015).  Vulvovaginal  candidiasis  and  bacterial  vaginosis  can  also  cause  symptomatic  vaginal  discharge  during  pregnancy.  Treatment  recommendations  for  all  these  are  briefly  reviewed  and  interwoven  within  the  specific  topics  of  this  chapter.
