How to prevent recurrence of vaginal candidiasis during pregnancy

Fungal infection is like a "gynecological cold". Most women in the world will be attacked by fungi. Fungal infection is prone to recurrence, with a recurrence frequency of up to 4 times a year. Pregnant women and diabetic patients are more susceptible to fungal infection. Repeated attacks of fungal vaginitis can also affect the baby in the belly. How to prevent it, let's take a look at the following tips

1. Give up the abuse of antibiotics. Do you take antibiotics for cough, fever, or headache? As everyone knows, antibiotics may inhibit some beneficial bacteria, and mold will take the opportunity to multiply. Therefore, antibiotics should be used with great caution.
2. Wash underwear separately. Mold can multiply in large numbers on the skin surface, gastrointestinal tract, nails, etc. If your family members or yourself suffer from tinea pedis, onychomycosis, etc., it is easy to cause cross infection of mold. Therefore, underwear must be washed separately.
3. Avoid excessive cleaning. Frequent use of acidic gynecological cleaning disinfectants, disinfected pads, etc. can easily create a moist and acidic environment that breeds mold. Gynecological cleaning products with weak alkaline formulas are more suitable for daily cleaning and maintenance.
4. Pay attention to the care during pregnancy. During pregnancy, the level of sex hormones, glycogen and acidity in the vagina will increase, making it easy to be invaded by fungi. For pregnant women, oral medications should not be used, but local prevention and auxiliary treatment plans should be selected.
5. Beware of mold hidden in almost every washing machine tub! And the more you use the washing machine, the more mold there is! But don't worry, there is a killer way to deal with mold in the washing machine: clean the washing tub with hot water at about 60℃.
6. Control blood sugar and use alkaline products to clean the vulva. The glycogen content and acidity of the vagina of female diabetics are high, which is easy to be invaded by mold. Therefore, while controlling blood sugar, you should also pay attention to cleaning the vulva and choose products with weakly alkaline pH.
