Yeast Infection During Pregnancy

Yeast infections are more common during pregnancy than any other time in a woman’s life. If you notice an increase in the amount of thin, white, odd smelling discharge during the second trimester of pregnancy, this is common and a normal symptom during this period of your pregnancy.
Although yeast infections have no major negative effect on pregnancy, they are often more difficult to control during pregnancy causing significant discomfort for you. Don’t waste time in seeking treatment from your doctor.
Why are yeast infections more common during pregnancy
With all of the changes your body is going through right now, it’s difficult for your body to keep up with the chemical changes in the vaginal environment. There is more sugar in the vaginal secretions for the yeast to feed from which causes an imbalance that results in too much fungus.
How are yeast infections treated during pregnancy?
During pregnancy physicians recommend vaginal creams and suppositories only. The oral medication, Diflucan (a single-dose medication), has not been proven safe during pregnancy and lactation. If left untreated, yeast infections can pass to your baby’s mouth during delivery. This is called “thrush” and is effectively treated with Nystatin.
It may take 10-14 days to find relief or completely clear up the infection while you are pregnant. After the infection has cleared up and any sores have healed, it may be helpful to use a starch-free drying powder, or Nystatin powder to prevent a recurring infection.
How can I prevent a yeast infection or recurring yeast infections?
Most yeast infections can usually be avoided by doing the following:
* Wear loose, cotton, breathable clothing, and cotton underwear.
After regular, thorough washing, use your blow dryer on a low, cool setting to help dry your genital area.
* Always wipe from front to back after using the restroom.
* Shower immediately after you swim. Change out of swimsuit, workout clothes or other damp clothes as soon as possible.
* Don’t douche; and don’t use feminine hygiene sprays, sanitary pads, and tampons that contain deodorant, bubble bath, colored or perfumed toilet paper
* Include yogurt with “lactobacillus acidophilus” in your diet
* Limit sugar intake, as sugar promotes the growth of yeast
* Get plenty of rest to make it easier for your body to fight infections
* Use a homeopathic product to prevent yeast infection -
Homeopathy is based on the premise that certain natural substances can stimulate the body’s own healing systems – allowing the body to heal itself.
