What to do if you have yeast during pregnancy

Candidal vaginitis is an inflammation that is prone to recurrence. Generally speaking, it is necessary to follow the normal course of medication after the menstrual period to effectively prevent the recurrence of candidal vaginitis. What should I do if I am pregnant with candidal vaginitis? During pregnancy, due to personal physiological reasons, the amount of vaginal discharge itself is more than usual, showing a lot of paste. Therefore, whether it is vaginitis or any other type of inflammation, it is recommended to take a leucorrhea examination in the hospital to confirm the diagnosis.

1. Causes of yeast infection during pregnancy

It is relatively common for pregnant women to suffer from candidal vaginitis clinically. This is because the high estrogen level during pregnancy leads to a vaginal environment with a high glycogen content, which provides rich material conditions for the growth of Candida albicans (commonly known as mold), so pregnant women are prone to candidal vaginitis. Fungi multiply rapidly during pregnancy, and the disease also occurs because large amounts of estrogen can directly stimulate the growth of Candida albicans, which is the cause of Candida vaginitis during pregnancy and repeated recurrences after repeated treatments.

2. Solutions to yeast infection during pregnancy

In clinical practice, commonly used drugs for the treatment of candidal vaginitis include: nystatin tablets or micodine effervescent vaginal tablets or suppositories, clotrimazole tablets (Canestin tablets), and miconazole nitrate suppositories (Daktarin suppositories), all of which can be inserted into the vagina under the guidance of a physician. Topical ointments include clotrimazole ointment and Daktarin ointment, which can be applied to the vulva daily. At the same time, the vagina or vulva can be rinsed with 2%-4% sodium bicarbonate (soda ash) solution, or the vulva can be washed with Chinese medicine or Chinese medicine preparations. During pregnancy, especially in the first three months of pregnancy, pregnant women are prohibited from using oral antifungal drugs or should use them with caution. Prevention: Keep the vulva dry, pay attention to the cleanliness of the vulva, and wear loose and breathable underwear. If there is anal or intestinal candidal infection, appropriate treatment should be given. Sexual intercourse can also transmit the disease to each other. If one party is infected, the other party should also be treated at the same time. If the disease does not heal after a long period of treatment, other examinations should be performed.

3. Precautions for yeast infection during pregnancy

Vaginal candidiasis is prone to recurrence, so it is important to eliminate the root cause. It is recommended to pay more attention to hygiene in daily life, wash underwear and shoes and socks separately and expose them to the sun. Under the guidance of a doctor, local and systemic medication is used. The cure standard for candidal vaginitis is: stop medication 3 days after the end of the treatment, and perform leucorrhea examination every day. If the results are negative for 3 consecutive days, it is considered a recent cure. Check the leucorrhea 5 to 7 days before each menstruation for two months thereafter, and if the result is negative continuously, it means the patient is cured.
