Basic Information
Causes of vaginitis during pregnancy
- The pathogens that cause vaginitis during pregnancy are nothing more than two major sources, that is, from the flora that was originally parasitic in the vagina, or from external invading pathogens.
- Under normal circumstances, vaginal bacteria are predominant in the vagina, and there are a small amount of anaerobic bacteria, mycoplasma and candida. These flora form a normal ecological balance. However, due to changes in hormone levels during pregnancy, the pH of the vagina is prone to corresponding changes. When the ecological balance of the vagina is disrupted, these resident flora will become pathogenic bacteria, breaking the vaginal barrier and causing infection.
- Infections from the outside world are mainly caused by contact with toilets, bathtubs, bathtub chairs, towels in infected public places, and the use of unclean toilet paper.
Clinical manifestations of vaginitis during pregnancy
- Symptoms
- Leucorrhea is thin paste or bean dregs-like, it is off-white, gray-yellow or creamy yellow, with a special fishy odor. Vulva itching, flushing or scratches.
- 2. Impact during pregnancy
- Bacterial vaginosis during pregnancy. If the bacteria travel along the cervix, it may cause premature rupture of the membranes, which may cause premature birth. In terms of treatment, doctors will screen according to the severity of symptoms, and then decide on treatment measures based on the mother's own condition.
Treatment of common vaginitis during pregnancy
- 1. Candida vaginitis vaginitis during pregnancy
- Generally, no treatment is required for the first 3 months of pregnancy. If the development is severe, the doctor will treat the drug as appropriate after 3 months of pregnancy without causing infection to the fetus. It is usually cured before childbirth. (Sometimes there is a local infection of the eyes or mouth after the fetus is delivered. It may be caused by a small amount of candida infection of the fetus through the birth canal during delivery. The doctor will treat the newborn immediately.)
- In the treatment of vaginal candida vaginitis during pregnancy, it is important to choose the right medicine and method. Oral drugs have the risk of teratogenicity in the fetus, so it is best to use local treatment. Local treatment with nystatin suppositories can also be applied in the middle and late pregnancy. If the vulva is itchy, do not scratch or scrub with hot water, but apply a local wet compress. Change your underwear frequently. Molds are more resistant to drying, ultraviolet light, and chemicals, but they are afraid of high temperatures. Therefore, it is best to soak or boil the replaced underwear with hot water above 60 ° C every day.
- 2. Trichomonas vaginitis during pregnancy
- As with Candida vaginitis, doctors do not advocate treatment during the first 3 months of pregnancy. Afterwards, the doctor will use the safe medication for pregnant women according to the severity. A gynecologist removes a small amount of secretions at the posterior fornix, and tests can detect trichomonas. Metronidazole is the most effective medicine for treating trichomoniasis, but metronidazole may cause fetal malformation in early pregnancy. Metronidazole can also enter the fetus through the placenta, so it is generally recommended that it should not be taken before 20 weeks of pregnancy. Local treatment can be used during treatment.
Vaginitis complications during pregnancy
- Common complications are gynecological cervicitis and pelvic inflammatory disease.
- In addition, Candida vaginal vaginosis in pregnancy can often cause adverse perinatal outcomes, such as chorioamnionitis, amniotic fluid infection, premature rupture of membranes, premature delivery and endometrial infection after cesarean section.
Vaginitis prevention during pregnancy
- Underwear is cooked daily or exposed to the sun to avoid repeated infections. After pregnancy, vaginal discharge is strong, pay attention to clean the vulva. The hygiene of sex life is very important. Sexual life is strictly forbidden during the wife's inflammation.
