Patient's question:
Why does it become easy to relapse with many gynecological diseases after pregnancy? Candida vulvovaginitis always seems to be difficult to treat, and medication is not an option during pregnancy, nor can one take pills. Sometimes it can be really uncomfortable. When buying medicine at a pharmacy, they always say this cannot be used and that cannot be used, until finally no medicine can be used at all. What should one do then?Doctor's answer:
After pregnancy, due to the high metabolic activity, especially the sugar metabolism, symptoms of candidal vulvovaginitis may occur during pregnancy. If you have had vulvovaginitis before, the symptoms may worsen. If it is confirmed to be candidal vulvovaginitis during pregnancy, antifungal drugs can be used. Generally, nystatin is a suitable choice, as it has minimal impact on pregnancy. However, it is better to use it after the fourth month of pregnancy. I recommend that you check your blood sugar levels.
