During pregnancy, if you have a fungal vaginal infection, can the baby get infected inside the womb?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

In your case, it might be candidiasis (yeast infection). Patients with candidiasis often experience increased vaginal discharge, itching and burning sensation in the external genitalia and vagina, pain during urination, redness and swelling around the external genitalia, and various epidermal changes. You can use sodium bicarbonate powder dissolved in water for external washing, which may be effective.
