What medicine is used for vaginal candidiasis during pregnancy

First of all, we have a certain understanding of vaginitis. In healthy women, due to the unique anatomical and cellular biological characteristics of women, the vagina has a natural defense against the invasion of pathogens. However, due to some reasons, the defense function of the vagina is destroyed and the microbial flora management system in the vagina is disrupted, which will lead to the invasion of pathogens. The pathogen that causes candidal vaginitis is Candida albicans, which is actually a kind of corrupt parasite that can live in the skin, mucous membranes, vagina and other internal organs of the human body. Although it exists under normal circumstances, it will not cause any symptoms.

However, when the glycogen in the vagina increases, the acidity rises, drug abuse causes intestinal flora imbalance, or the body's immunity is weakened, it will become the cause of the disease. During pregnancy, due to the changes in hormones in the body and the gradual increase in estrogen levels, the amount of glycogen in the squamous epithelial cells in the vagina will also increase. The acidity and alkalinity of the vagina will increase, and physiological diabetes and immunity will decrease during pregnancy, which will lead to the occurrence of candidal vaginitis during pregnancy. What are the actual symptoms of candidal vaginitis?

The most typical symptom of candidal vaginitis is excessive vaginal discharge, and the increased amount of vaginal discharge is tofu-like or water-like, which is more characteristic and accompanied by severe itching, especially at night. Many pregnant women seek medical treatment due to severe itching, and some may also have symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency and pain when urinating. Generally, we make a diagnosis based on medical history, causative factors, clinical symptoms of the disease, and secretion patterns.

After diagnosis, due to the special menstrual period during pregnancy, medication is restricted. Currently, medications such as clotrimazole suppositories and nystatin suppositories are strongly recommended, which are mainly administered intravaginally. Increasing the treatment time can improve the efficacy and cure rate. But why do many mothers during pregnancy have repeated attacks after drug treatment?

The main reason is that it persists during pregnancy. Some pregnant women suffer from gestational diabetes and fail to follow the treatment process. The growth of Lactobacillus is inhibited and the increase of Candida is a large number of important reasons for the onset of the disease.

Therefore, for pregnant women with recurrent candidal vaginitis, in terms of treatment, all causes and risk factors must be eliminated first. For example, those with gestational diabetes should strictly control their diet and control blood sugar for timely treatment. They should not eat too many sweets or wear synthetic underwear. They should wear cotton breathable underwear. The underwear should be scrubbed or worn less to prevent cross infection. If relatives are infected, they should also receive treatment at the same time. During treatment, they must follow the treatment process. Do not stop taking the medicine immediately when the symptoms worsen slightly. At the same time, keep the local environment clean, dry and clean.
