Patient's question:
Last month, I carefully checked that I was pregnant. This month, I felt discomfort down there, so I went to the hospital for a check-up and found that I had candidiasis. I didn't take any medication, and I'm very worried about it affecting the baby. I would like to consult about what to do if I get candidiasis right after getting pregnant.Doctor's answer:
During pregnancy, if you have a fungal vaginal infection, you should not take any medication to avoid interfering with the fetus's growth and development. It is essential to pay attention to personal hygiene, frequently clean the external genitalia, and keep them dry at all times. Wear loose cotton underwear and change your underwear frequently. You can also use a small amount of physiological saline for cleaning, which can help alleviate the symptoms of fungal vaginal infection. Patients with vaginitis can use folk remedies as supplementary treatment while understanding standard medical treatment. In daily diet, it is necessary to have a proper diet and avoid irritating foods.
