Patient's question:
I've been married for two years. I've always wanted a child, but there are still many things I haven't prepared for. Now that I'm ready to have a child, I unfortunately contracted candidiasis of the vagina, and I'm very worried about whether it will affect my pregnancy plans.Doctor's answer:
It is believed that some women have some understanding of vaginitis, especially of candidal vaginitis, which is caused by Candida albicans. Candida albicans is a type of yeast that exists on the surface and in the cavities of the human body. If a mild candidal vaginitis occurs, it generally does not affect pregnancy. However, if the vaginitis is severe, it should be treated first before conceiving.(2) Does it affect the fetus? If left untreated, the fetus may be infected, leading to the recurrence of red rash on the skin and yellow needle-like spots on the umbilical cord. If the fetus is delivered vaginally, 2/3 of the newborns may develop thrush and diaper rash. Since the condition varies among patients, the treatment methods will also differ. Therefore, patients need to undergo timely and thorough examination and diagnosis to receive appropriate treatment.
