What Causes Yeast Infections During Pregnancy?
I am currently pregnant and frequently get what I believe are yeast infections. I have gotten tested and the test have come back negative for anything else. I have tried the monistat and it works for like a week or two and the discharge comes back. I don t know what to do.

Hello dear, I understand your concern.In my opinion the yeast infections are most common during pregnancy due to low immunity status in pregnancy and vaginal ph alterations.Candid V6 vaginal tablets can be tried and candid dusting powder is also helpful in case of itching over vulva due to candidial discharge.Dont worry.It will subside.It is the common problem seen in pregnancy.So relax.Wear loose cotton inners.
