Vaginal Candidiasis in Pregnancy

By Roberta von Furstenberg


It is more likely you will be affected by a vaginal yeast infection during pregnancy. This is due to a number of different reasons. One of these is that you will gain weight and this will cause you to sweat more and this will in turn increase the temperature of the area that will be affected by a condition of this sort.

Pregnant women are more susceptible to having problems like yeast infections and they often lead to a great deal of physical discomfort. It is very easy for these to be treated. You can only get the right results when you change your diet and clothing and make changes to ensure that yeast does not develop or flourish.

It is completely natural for yeast to grow in the vagina. The problems begin to happen when you have too much of this and it then spreads. This means it competes with other micro organisms which then lead to infection arising. This is known to be a condition that can affect you again and again if the underlying causes are not treated.

Your estrogen levels during pregnancy may also be a factor that will make it possible for your body to encourage the growth of yeast. There have been studies which indicate this may be the case as it is common for women to suffer from this during pregnancy even if they have never encountered issues of this kind before.

It's impossible to overcome a problem of this sort if you don't take the appropriate action. What you need to do is decrease the amount of sugar in your body then work on creating an environment where the spread of bacteria is more difficult. Begin by making some changes to your diet that will help with the sugar reduction which will be a major factor in ensuring you recover from any symptoms that you have experienced.

You are a lot better of when you cut out sugar laden snacks such as cakes and candy and this also applies to fizzy drinks with a high sugar content. This not only helps you to prevent the occurrence of a problem of this sort but it allows you to manage your weight. As these foods are usually low in nutrient value there is not much your body will gain from them so reducing them will be beneficial to you.

It is important to understand the need to consume more food when you're having a baby but all that is required is an additional two hundred calories. This does not mean it's suddenly okay to feast on bad foods. Instead it's best to get these extra calories from a wide range of healthy foods.

You can ensure that the vagina is protected from potential infection by making it a cooler place. This can be achieved by making sure that you wear clothes which are made from breathable fabrics and not wearing tightly fitting clothing. This means that you wont overheat the vagina and will reduce the risk of developing this sort of condition.
