How to treat a vaginal yeast infection during pregnancy?
Posted by admin under yeast infectionI am on the 10th week of pregnancy and I have a vaginal yeast infection. My doctor has prescribed me metronidazole and miconazole nitrate. I read about the metronidazole and found out that it PROBABLY can be harmfull (birth defects). So, now I would like to know how harmfull can be the yeast infection if I do not treat it during the pregnancy. Or may be the is a way to treat it with something save?
When doctors decide on what medicine to give you, they weight the pro’s and con’s of the medicine. Also when you say that is can be harmful this means that they did a test and most likely 1 out of 400,000 babies had something wrong when they were born, even if it had nothing to do with the medicine they still have to put that caution on there. If you don’t treat it your going to be in pain and i don’t recommend doing that. Talk to your doctor but again he knows your pregnant and if he thought it would hurt the baby he wouldn’t give it to you in the first place. Good Luck!
if youre doctor prescribed it you should be fine! You need to change to cotton panties

I am in my 22nd week and I too have come down with a yeast infection. It’s dang miserable! Miconazole is fine to use during pregnancy. Your doctor would not have prescribed it if it was not safe. If you go untreated the infection could get worse! Trust me.. Use the cream and within a few days you will be better.
