What should I do if I get vaginal candidiasis during pregnancy?

Some women have abnormal problems in their bodies, so they need to pay attention to timely treatment, especially some women suffering from gynecological diseases. If women do not take timely treatment methods, it is very likely to cause infertility in women. So what should you do if you get pregnant with candidal vaginitis? Let me introduce this issue to you below.

1. Causing infertility: We know that under normal circumstances, the vagina has a relatively safe environment, with relatively balanced flora and relatively balanced acidity and alkalinity. This environment, which is suitable for the temporary retention and passage of sperm, is very important. Once this environment is destroyed, infertility is likely to occur. If you suffer from candidal vaginitis, the change in vaginal acidity and alkalinity will inhibit sperm motility, and inflammatory cells can phagocytize sperm and weaken sperm motility. Candida albicans has the effect of agglutinating sperm, and sexual intercourse pain and decreased libido during inflammation can all affect pregnancy. This type of infertility can quickly return to normal after active treatment. However, the infertility caused by candidal vaginitis is temporary and conception is still possible after the disease is cured.

2. Affecting fetal development: After a pregnant woman becomes ill, in a very small number of cases the Candida albicans in the vagina can ascend through the cervix, penetrate the fetal membrane and infect the fetus, causing premature birth. In addition, when the fetus is delivered vaginally by the mother, it may also be infected with Candida albicans, which often causes oral candidiasis. For example, thrush, as it is commonly known, is caused by oral Candida albicans infection. Some infants may also develop perianal candidal dermatitis. It can be seen from this that in order to avoid infecting the fetus, pregnant women with candidal vaginitis should actively seek treatment.

3. Cause other diseases If candidal vaginitis is not treated for a long time, it is easy to cause ascending inflammation, causing cervicitis and cervical erosion. If the pathogen enters the uterine cavity, it will cause fallopian tube and ovarian inflammation, pelvic inflammatory disease, etc., and finally affect pregnancy.

4. Affecting the quality of life. Candidal vaginitis will be accompanied by symptoms such as vulvar itching, which will cause many inconveniences and impacts on women's life and work, and will also affect the life of the couple.

The above is my opinion on this issue that I introduced to you. If the patient has the above-mentioned problems, then it is necessary to pay attention to take the above-mentioned methods for treatment in a timely manner. This is the only way to ensure the patient’s safety and avoid dangerous situations caused by the above-mentioned problems. Finally, I wish the patient a speedy recovery.
