Patient's question:
What should I do if I get candidiasis during the sixth month of pregnancy? I am currently six months pregnant and suddenly developed this candidiasis. What should I do? Should I wait until after giving birth to treat it, or is it better to treat it now?Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis is an endogenous infection. During pregnancy, estrogen levels are generally higher, and changes in vaginal pH can lead to candidal vulvovaginitis. If you currently have symptoms, such as itching and increased discharge, you can use Honghe wash to clean the external genitalia and apply miconazole vaginal suppositories. These medications have no impact on the child. You cannot wait until after delivery to treat it. In fact, having vaginitis is not something to be afraid of. Patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as symptoms are detected early and treated appropriately, the chances of alleviating the condition and recovering are very high.
