Does candidiasis affect the fetus?

Patient's question:

Doctor, hello, hello I have candidal vulvovaginitis, and got pregnant after cohabitation with my husband, will it affect the fetus?

Doctor's answer:

Hello: It is recommended to actively treat it. If a pregnant woman suffers from fungal vaginitis, in addition to discomforts such as external genital itching, burning pain, and increased vaginal discharge, it can also lead to the transmission of other bacteria, further potentially causing conditions like amnionitis and endometritis. Additionally, during childbirth through the birth canal, newborns may become infected. Therefore, if fungal vaginitis occurs during pregnancy, apart from the discomforts experienced by the pregnant woman, it can also adversely affect the fetus or newborn. From the perspective of perinatal health care and eugenics, providing comprehensive prevention and treatment training for fungal vaginitis in pregnant women is highly necessary.
