Unfortunately it is true that women tend to suffer more from yeast infections during pregnancy. So, yes, yeast pregnancy is a problem. As our bodies change, the level of estrogen increases, resulting in an excessive production of a sugar known as Glycogen in the vagina. As you can imagine, this is an ideal breeding ground for Candida.
A yeast infection is an overgrowth of the fungus called Candida. This happens when the fungus that is always in our bodies, starts to grow uncontrolled. There are many factors that can cause this and pregnancy is one of them as I've mentioned above. This can be the cause of considerable discomfort and many women are afraid that medication may harm their unborn child. Fortunately there is a lot you can do to improve the situation.
What can aggravate yeast pregnancy?
I think it is a good idea to think about the things you can do to help you with your yeast infection.
- Wear only cotton underwear; do not even consider all those fancy, pretty lacy things, they are sure to bring along an attack!
- Do not use any bubble bath or bath oil as it is known to make things worse or even start an infection
- If it is at all possible it is best to take only showers, if a shower is not available do not take a prolonged bath, get in, wash yourself and get out!
- Use white unscented soap, none of the "health" or "anti-bacterial" stuff, it kills the "good" bacteria with the "bad" and then the fungus can grow uncontrolled
- Make sure you dry yourself properly for the same reason it is not and good idea to stay in wet clothes for long periods
- Do not wear any tight clothing, warm and dark places provide ideal conditions for the yeast to thrive
- Do not stay in a wet bathing suit for long periods, change immediately after your swim
- Eat lots of yoghurt as it contains the "good" bacteria that helps keep the Candida fungus under control
- Try and cut out all sugar as it is excellent food for yeast to grow on
- The same goes for starches and especially bread as it contains yeast that makes matters worse, when it comes to carbs give preference to non-wheat carbohydrates and whole grains
- Try and eat as healthy as possible and cut out as much fast food and convenience food as possible, rather have lots of fresh veggies and low fat proteins
These are some of the measures you can take to try and ease yeast, pregnancy. To get rid of it completely, you will have to take a holistic approach that includes a lot more. Get yourself a good e-book about it and control your yeast during pregnancy the healthy way.
