How to deal with various vaginitis in expectant mothers

Changes in hormone levels cause changes in all aspects of a woman's body during pregnancy, especially changes in the vaginal environment, which makes it easy to be invaded by pathogens and cause vaginal inflammation. So, how should expectant mothers deal with various types of vaginitis?

1. Fungal vaginitis

Generally speaking, vaginal candidiasis in early pregnancy does not require special treatment. Daily care is sufficient, such as soaking or boiling the underwear in hot water above 60°C to kill the fungus; controlling diet, exercising more, and maintaining normal blood sugar levels. Otherwise, once gestational diabetes occurs, the glycogen content in the female vagina will increase significantly, and the body's resistance will decrease and it will be unable to fight fungus. If the inflammation develops seriously, the expectant mother can take medication as appropriate after 3 months of pregnancy under the guidance of a doctor to avoid infection and other adverse effects on the fetus.

2. Trichomonas vaginitis

Generally, trichomoniasis vaginitis does not require special treatment within the first three months of pregnancy, but daily care is very important. For example, in life, you should pay attention to the use of towels and bathtubs by one person only, and do not wash underwear with others. In order to avoid repeated infection, you should boil and disinfect towels and underwear for 5 to 10 minutes every day. In addition, trichomoniasis vaginitis is often transmitted through sexual intercourse. Trichomonas parasites are more common in the male urinary and reproductive system. It is just that men have better resistance and are not prone to disease, but it is easy to infect women, especially pregnant mothers who have weaker resistance during pregnancy. Therefore, if a pregnant woman suffers from vaginitis, her husband is best to go to the hospital for examination and treatment.
