Can I use suppositories when I am pregnant with yeast?

After pregnancy, pregnant mothers should pay great attention to their physical health, because during this period, the use of medication for any disease is very strict. Even for many diseases, commonly used medicines are banned. If candidal vaginitis occurs after pregnancy, the pregnant mother can choose suppositories, but it should be noted that it is best not to use medication within three months of pregnancy, and to undergo drug treatment after three months.

If you have candidal vaginitis during pregnancy, you can also use suppositories.

However, it is generally recommended that for the treatment of vaginitis, it is best not to use medication within three months of pregnancy. Because the first three months of pregnancy is a critical period for the baby's growth and development, taking medication at this stage can easily lead to fetal deformities.

Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is a common and frequent vulvovaginal inflammatory disease caused by Candida albicans. Candida albicans is a conditionally pathogenic bacterium. 10% to 20% of non-pregnant women and 30% of pregnant women have this fungus parasitic in their vagina, but the amount of bacteria is small and does not cause symptoms. Vaginitis symptoms will only occur when the systemic and local vaginal immunity decreases, especially the local cellular immunity decreases, and Candida albicans multiplies in large numbers.

For simple vulvovaginal candidiasis, local medication is the main choice. Generally, the symptoms will be alleviated or disappear within 2-3 days after medication. Clotrimazole vaginal suppository, use every 3 days, 2 times in total.

Regarding the treatment of complicated vulvovaginal candidiasis, the selected drugs are basically the same as those for simple vulvovaginal candidiasis. Whether local or systemic medications are used, the treatment time should be appropriately extended.

The treatment principles for vulvovaginal candidiasis during pregnancy are: the primary issue that must be considered during treatment is whether the drug is harmful to the fetus; treatment is mainly based on local medication, and no systemic medication is given; it is limited to pregnant women with symptoms and signs.
