What is a fungal infection?

Fungal infection is a common type of vaginal infection that is very common in pregnant women. These infections, also called vaginal candidiasis, are caused by microscopic fungi in the Candida family, and in particular by the fungus Candida albicans. It is not uncommon to have a specific amount of fungus in the vagina, as well as in the digestive tract. Mushroom is only a problem that grows so fast that other microorganisms compete and exceed the limits.

A higher level of estrogen during pregnancy causes the vagina to produce more glycogen, which also makes mushroom growth easier and more likely. Some researchers also think that estrogen may also have a direct effect on the growth of the fungus, so that it can grow faster and make fungi more comfortable to stick to the vaginal walls.

Treatment for fungal infection

You are also more susceptible to fungal infection when you take antibiotics, especially if you have been taking this treatment frequently or for a long time. Because in this treatment, antibiotics, in addition to killing the bacteria in question, also affect the natural bacteria in the vagina, so that the mushrooms grow easily and unhindered in the vagina. If the fungal infections are not treated well, your child's chance of getting this fungus will increase.

If you have symptoms of a fungal infection, it's likely that your symptoms will cure you, unless you take it as soon as possible. Although some symptoms sometimes come and disappear in and of themselves. These symptoms include:

---

Discomfort or pain during sex;

Itching, burning, pain and redness in the vagina and the edges (and sometimes swelling);
Vaginal discharges are often white and creamy;
Burning while urinating (the urine is damaged by the genital organs that is currently irritated, causing it to burn).
