Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? I wonder what the effects of vaginitis in the late stages of pregnancy are on the fetus.Doctor's answer:
Candidiasis is a common gynecological disease, mainly caused by Candida. If a pregnant woman contracts candidiasis, it not only causes discomfort due to symptoms such as increased vaginal discharge, external genital itching, and burning pain, but also increases the risk of neonatal infection during delivery. After birth, close contact between the mother and child further elevates the chances of the newborn contracting candidiasis, making it more susceptible to conditions like thrush and dermatitis. Female infants within 1-2 weeks of birth may exhibit typical symptoms of candidiasis. For the health of both mother and child, pregnant women diagnosed with candidiasis should actively seek treatment.
