Patient's question:
Doctor, my colleague is pregnant and it's already been nine months. She'll be giving birth to a baby very soon. We're all looking forward to it. However, she mentioned that during a recent thorough check-up, she was diagnosed with candidiasis (yeast infection). Doctor, I'd like to understand if having candidiasis affects the possibility of a normal delivery. Will it interfere with the fetus?Doctor's answer:
A moldy vaginitis may interfere with a vaginal delivery. If the mold infection does not heal on its own, it can easily transmit the mold to the newborn during the delivery process, potentially causing thrush in the baby. Therefore, it is important to pay close attention to hygiene and use antifungal medications promptly. If the mold symptoms are severe, it is recommended that you consider a cesarean section to avoid affecting the newborn's health during a vaginal delivery.Additionally, during the treatment for vaginitis, the patient's dietary condition and care are also crucial. The patient must ensure adequate vitamin intake, prevent diarrhea, and maintain a light diet to avoid unnecessary harm. We hope the above information is helpful to you. Thank you.
