Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Candidiasis is a common gynecological disease, primarily caused by Candida. If a pregnant woman contracts candidiasis, not only will symptoms such as increased vaginal discharge, external genital itching, and burning pain cause discomfort, but the baby will also have a higher risk of infection during delivery due to passing through the vagina and close contact with the mother afterward. Newborns are more susceptible to candidiasis, which can lead to conditions like thrush and dermatitis. Typical symptoms of candidiasis may appear in female infants within 1-2 weeks after birth. For the health of both mother and child, pregnant women diagnosed with candidiasis should actively seek treatment.
