Pregnancy is a special physiological stage for women, and due to changes in hormones and decreased resistance, pregnant women are more susceptible to infections. Once infected, it may still be transmitted to the fetus through the placental blood circulation. So how to prevent pregnancy infections?
Preventing pregnancy infections requires frequent changes in underwear and breathable clothing. The key to avoiding intrauterine infections during pregnancy is to prevent inflammatory infections, such as vaginitis, viral respiratory infections, urethritis, etc. Because women have high levels of sex hormones after pregnancy, combined with vaginal congestion, vigorous secretion, and moist external genitalia, it creates a very favorable environment for mold growth.
Therefore, it is best to change underwear once a day. Underwear should be made of pure cotton, boiled and disinfected, and preferably exposed to sunlight. Pants should be loose and breathable. Do not wear pantyhose or tight jeans continuously. Tight pants can compress the external genitalia, making it easy for bacteria to invade the urethra. Keep bowel movements unobstructed to reduce pressure on the ureter. If you used to like to sit by the pool and chat in swimsuits, then you have to change it in the future. Don't sit casually in places like public swimming pools and bathrooms, and public toilets are no exception.
Do not frequently rinse the external genitalia and vagina with disinfectants or various cleaning agents. It is best to use clean water to clean the genital area, rather than various washes. At the same time, try to maintain a cheerful mood, as psychological reasons can also lower the body's immune system, allowing Candida to take advantage of the situation. During pregnancy, it is important to rest more, pay attention to healthy diet and nutritional balance, enhance one's own resistance and disease resistance, and always care for oneself in order to have a healthy baby.
