Can I use suppositories to treat vaginal candidal infection during early pregnancy?

Can I use suppositories to treat vaginal candidal infection in early pregnancy? After pregnancy, women have high levels of sex hormones, vaginal congestion, vigorous secretions, and moist vulva, which are suitable for the growth of fungi. Therefore, they are also prone to fungal infection and candidal vaginitis. Pregnant women should see a doctor immediately and use medicine scientifically. Do not take medicine on your own to avoid harming the fetus.

According to a survey, about 2/3 of pregnant women suffer from candidal vaginitis.

Why?

After a woman becomes pregnant, her sex hormone levels are high, and the vagina becomes congested, secretions increase, and the vulva becomes moist, creating an environment that is very conducive to the growth of mold.

Can I get pregnant?

If you have mild candidal vaginitis, it generally does not affect pregnancy, but if it is more severe vaginitis, you should wait until it is cured before getting pregnant.

Does it have any impact on the fetus? If not treated in time, the fetus will be infected and a erythematous rash will appear on the skin, and yellow pinpoint spots will appear on the umbilical cord. If the fetus is delivered vaginally, 2/3 of the newborns will develop thrush and red buttocks.

How to use the medicine?

Pregnant women should note that medications should be used differently in the early, middle and late stages of pregnancy. Some medications can affect the development of the fetus, so please use medications under the guidance of a doctor and never use them at will. In addition, there are many types of external washes on the market. Pregnant women can wash the vulva, but not the vagina, because this can easily affect the fetus.

Special reminder: Vulvar itching and leucorrhea are not normal, do I need to go to the hospital?

With symptoms of vulvar itching and abnormal vaginal discharge, some women are afraid to go to the hospital or disdain to go to the hospital for examination, but go to the pharmacy to buy antifungal drugs. Is this appropriate? Is it necessary to go to the hospital? A study in the United States showed that among 95 women who bought drugs for the treatment of candidal vaginitis on their own, only 32 were diagnosed with candidal vaginitis, and the other cases included: 18 patients with bacterial vaginitis; 19 patients with mixed vaginitis; 10 patients with other diseases; 2 patients with vaginal trichomoniasis; and the remaining 13 patients were normal. Therefore, using drugs based on one's own experience is likely to lead to misdiagnosis of other diseases. It is safer to use drugs after going to the hospital for examination.
