Pregnant & Vaginal Infect
Vaginal Infection 2 days ago
Asked for Female, 27 Years
Recurrence of fungal infection around vagina and Recurrence of bacterial infection around anus.
I am 6 months pregnant now. I am meeting midwife for pregnancy. I am getting fungal infection & bacterial infection around my vagina & my anus. It is started 2 months before my pregnancy. I am getting treatment at hospital for the same. But I am not satisfied with the treatment as it is recurring for every 1 or 1.5 month since last 8 months.
I want to know whether this will it affect my baby as preterm or not? What do I need to do to take care of my pregnancy.
