Patient's question:
Pregnant for three months until now, test results: If delivered, what impact will it have on the child? Previous treatment history and effectiveness: Used seven or eight nicotine patches, recurrence treatment, always no trace of improvement. What kind of help is needed: It is said that a natural birth will affect the baby's eyes.Doctor's answer:
A pregnant woman with candidiasis can transmit the fungus to the newborn through the vagina during delivery, causing conditions such as thrush or conjunctivitis, pneumonia, etc. It is recommended to use a 3% sodium bicarbonate solution for external vaginal cleaning twice a day. If nystatin is not effective, other antifungal medications such as nystatin tablets can be used. During childbirth, the main concern is the infection through the birth canal, which may lead to the child's eyes becoming infected with conjunctivitis, keratitis, or thrush. Patients with vaginitis can use folk remedies as supplementary treatment while undergoing standard medical treatment. In daily life and diet, it is important to maintain a proper diet and avoid irritating foods.
