What should pregnant women do if they have candidal vaginitis?

Many pregnant women worry about inflammatory diseases after pregnancy. The most common disease for pregnant women is candidal vaginitis. If the amount of secretions after pregnancy is large, although there is no menstruation, the vagina and immunity are relatively poor. Generally, you should consult a professional doctor. According to the month of pregnancy and the development of the baby in your belly, choose topical medications for temporary relief. Do not use some Chinese patent medicines, and try not to use some antibiotics or hormones.

Pregnant women with this disease will experience symptoms of vulva itching and burning pain, which will affect their work and rest. If not treated in time, the fetus will be infected and will develop erythematous rashes on the skin and yellow pinpoint spots on the umbilical cord. If the fetus is delivered vaginally, 2/3 of the newborns will develop the disease - thrush and red buttocks.

But pregnant women should note that the use of medication should be different in the early, middle and late stages of pregnancy. In the early stages of pregnancy, because the fetus is in an important period of organ development and formation, drugs can easily have side effects. Experts do not recommend patients to use suppositories and oral medications at this time. If the patient's symptoms are mild, it is best to first choose some Chinese medicine lotions to improve the itching symptoms; if the infection is more serious, you can scrub the vagina and then apply suppositories locally in the vagina, but this process must be completed by the hospital's obstetrics and gynecology nurse to avoid inadvertent medications that have adverse effects on the fetus.

The use of medication in the middle and late stages is relatively safe, and the problem should be solved thoroughly at this time. Experts recommend a three-pronged approach of oral medication, suppositories, and lotions. For example, one "Dakning" suppository can be used per day for three consecutive days and costs about 20 to 30 yuan. One "Canesten" suppository costs more than 50 yuan and generally one suppository is enough. It is best to use another one after a week to consolidate the therapeutic effect.

The oral version of "Maimino" is suitable for pregnant women and is relatively safe for the fetus. It costs more than 70 yuan per box and is also taken orally for one week, but you should consult a doctor before use. There are many kinds of external washing lotions on the market. For pregnant women, washing the vulva is allowed, but washing the vagina is prohibited, as it can easily affect the fetus. To avoid infecting newborns, pregnant women with candidal vaginitis should choose drugs that are harmless to the fetus for local treatment, and the operation must be gentle.
