Patient's question:
Doctor, I'd like to ask a few questions. I've had candidiasis for a year, and it keeps recurring despite visiting hospitals multiple times and using medications, including anti-inflammatory drugs and vaginal treatments, but the condition keeps getting better and worse. Now, if I'm pregnant, what should I do about the candidiasis?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal candidiasis is recommended to be treated first before starting pregnancy preparation. If you are already pregnant, you can use antifungal medications under the guidance of a doctor for treatment. It is essential to pay attention to medication safety, as some drugs are strictly prohibited during pregnancy to avoid affecting the normal growth and development of the fetus. At the same time, use gynecological cleansing liquid to wash the external genitalia, and underwear should be sun-dried to prevent recurring fungal infections.Actually, having vaginal candidiasis is not something to be afraid of. Patients should believe in their ability to overcome the illness. As long as symptoms are detected early and treated accordingly, the chances of stabilizing the condition and recovering are very high.
