Yeast Infection During Pregnancy

It is normal to expect you will, at some point, have a yeast infection during pregnancy. There is no need to panic as there is really not much difference between this infection and a normal yeast infection. One special consideration during pregnancy is that the hormone levels are impossible to control. The symptoms are the same, itchiness, unpleasant odor, discharge like sour milk.

If you have not had one before and you suddenly experience a yeast infection during pregnancy, you should consult your gynaecologist right away. They will be able to check what the problem is and confirm if it is just a yeast infection. There is a possibility that there could be other infections present too and the doctor can treat these as well as the yeast infection. A yeast infection will itch and it may be red from rubbing it. If there is any burning feeling when urinating, make sure you get a urine test as there could be an infection of the bladder. Be sure to tell the gynaecologist about any medication you are already on or any creams you have applied. Although oral medication is commonly used to treat yeast infection, in the interest of the baby, the doctor will prescribe external treatments but not pills. Creams or ointments are the methods to treat yeast infection during pregnancy. Like any treatment, the creams should be used until the infection is cleared up and then for a few more days.

If yeast infection during pregnancy re-occurs, your doctor is likely to try to assess the cause and may advise a change of diet. Reducing sugar and introducing berry juices to the diet can help. Another consideration is the toiletries you may be using, which may be irritating the area. It is best to use simple toiletries with no scents in them.

Yeast infection during pregnancy is not a huge concern for your future health or that of the baby. However, the baby may get an oral infection, which you will notice as a milky appearance in the mouth. Just make sure the baby is treated in good time so that the infection does not pass through their system to their genital area as well.
