In the life of almost every family there comes a timesuch an exciting and important moment when a married couple decides to have a child. But, unfortunately, recently the fair sex is increasingly faced with "female" diseases that either prevent pregnancy or interfere with the normal development of the fetus. Therefore, doctors recommend first undergoing a full examination, both the expectant mother and father. And only after it is established that both parents are completely healthy, you can start planning. Otherwise, the family will face long-term treatment. But often the beautiful ladies ignore these wishes and turn to doctors only if some symptoms have become too obvious. But even the most common thrush, which will be discussed below, can lead to rather sad consequences.
Thrush and infertility: can not be treated
Many representatives of the fair sexI am interested in the question of whether it is possible to get pregnant with thrush. To get a reliable answer, you must first understand what kind of disease it is - candidiasis, as well as how you can get infected with it and what the consequences will be. What is thrush and how does it manifest itself Fungi of the genus Candida, which are the culprit of this trouble, are in the body of every person, but, firstly, there are not so many of them, and secondly, our body copes with this load, not allowing them to multiply and spread. If some kind of failure occurs (the lady gets sick, gets overexcited, and so on down the list), the immune system weakens. As a result - thrush. The main area of dislocation of fungi is the female genitals. Sometimes candidiasis is observed in the oral cavity and on the skin. The fungus multiplies very quickly, affecting ever larger areas and causing quite unpleasant symptoms. A girl will understand that something is wrong with her health by the following symptoms:
- Itching, burning, discomfort
In the first days, a slight tingling sensation is felt ingenital area, which increases greatly over time. The itching does not subside even if you take a shower, but weakens slightly. If you do not start treating the disease in time, a serious exacerbation may occur.
- Allocations
It should be noted that the discharge may not beall ladies. Everything depends on the degree of damage and the body of the fair sex as a whole. But in most cases, candidiasis is accompanied by abundant discharge, resembling a curdled mass of whitish, yellowish or even greenish color. At the same time, a sharp sour smell is felt.
- Inflammation, redness and pain
During thrush, swelling often beginsgenitals, and the mucous membrane turns red. During sex, a woman may feel severe pain, so it is better to abstain from sexual intercourse for a couple of months. Also, unpleasant sensations may occur while walking, so you need to wear loose-fitting clothes, panties made of natural fabrics.
- Burning with urination
During urination, a woman may feela strong burning sensation, as if the genitals are being eaten away by acid. This happens because the liquid comes into contact with the inflamed mucous membrane and skin. With candidiasis, this symptom is almost always observed. Please note: not all of these symptoms necessarily appear with thrush. Sometimes they indicate that the girl has an STI. By the way, with candidiasis, some people only experience itching and burning, some will experience pain during sex, etc. But almost always the symptoms intensify before critical days (usually 7-8 days before the onset). Tight synthetic clothing and a hot bath can provoke a deterioration in the condition. High temperatures and high humidity are the most favorable environment for Candida fungi. Therefore, at the first signs of the disease, you should undergo an examination by a gynecologist.Candidiasis in women:does it affect reproductive functions? According to medical experts, candidiasis does not affect the reproductive functions of a woman. Thus, the answer to the question of whether it is possible to get pregnant with thrush is clear - yes. Candida fungi do not affect fertilization, egg fixation, etc. The only obstacle will be severe pain during intercourse. But it is better to refrain from this until you cope with the disease, since during the period of bearing a child, full treatment will be contraindicated, you will have to use only local ointments. Another matter if thrush occurs during pregnancy. Almost every woman encounters this trouble for the first time precisely when she is pregnant. And this happens because hormonal changes begin in the body of the fair sex, the vaginal microflora changes, and immunity is greatly reduced. Naturally, these processes affect the reproduction of the fungus. So, if a woman encounters thrush after she has become pregnant, doctors prescribe her a special course of treatment, the main goal of which is to normalize the vaginal microflora. More serious drugs are contraindicated for her, as they can affect the future child. Women who are pregnant should not delay treatment. Also, you do not need to endure pain, burning just to get pregnant. No matter how much you want to have a child, you need to wait some time after recovery. Fungi of the genus Candida are incredibly dangerous. You do not want to infect the baby and treat the newborn immediately after he is born. Why is this disease dangerous for the little ones? The fact is that children also suffer from thrush. In boys, it manifests itself in the mouth, in girls, the genitals are also affected. Sometimes candidiasis manifests itself on the mucous membrane of the eyes, which can lead to blindness.
Treatment of thrush during the period of gestation
Unfortunately, many pregnant womenWomen believe that there is nothing to worry about with this disease. At best, they go to the clinic when the symptoms become too obvious. At worst, ladies begin to self-medicate. The latter, by the way, is fraught with miscarriage. You should not trust advertising that offers treatment for thrush in one day. Only an experienced specialist can correctly diagnose and prescribe a full-fledged treatment. The most interesting thing is that some girls can be helped by the simplest and cheapest medicine, while others have to buy expensive and rare drugs. It all depends on the type of fungi. Therefore, the doctor should first take a smear for samples, ask to donate blood for analysis. And only after receiving the final results will he be able to determine which drugs will help you in your particular case. Remember that many drugs have their contraindications, which the doctor should familiarize you with. If you take pills and apply ointments at random, then do not be surprised that after a while you will only get worse. This also applies to folk remedies that were used by our grandmothers and mothers. During pregnancy, you should never drink herbs, make poultices, baths or douches. This can lead to a spontaneous miscarriage.
