Livarol during pregnancy. Is it worth it?

Many women have met with thrush and know perfectly well how to treat it. Carrying out treatment with folk methods can get rid of this disease, but the result will have to wait a long time and, often, everything has to be repeated several times. That's why with the first symptoms it is worth turning to the gynecologist, he knows how to help the patient.

But what to do if they prescribed Livarol during pregnancy? Especially this question frightens those who are concerned about their health, reads the instruction even if this medicine is prescribed by a doctor. It is clearly stated in it that the use of this drug in the first trimester - from the beginning of conception and up to 12 weeks, is contraindicated. Candles Livarol during pregnancy in the second and third trimester are also dangerous, but to a lesser extent. Usually, they are used for advanced or chronic variants of the disease.

To treat thrush is very necessary and you should not minimize its harmfulness. Firstly, it is a fungal vaginal disease, which is also called vaginal candidiasis. Causes it, as is clear from the name, candida - fungus, which can live on all mucous, including in the gastrointestinal tract. Exacerbation occurs if the immunity decreases drastically. There may be many reasons for this, but even more for pregnant women. It is also worth noting that when a child is born, multiplication of fungal cells occurs much faster than at other times. It is caused not only by weak immunity, which works for two, but also hormonal failures.

Livarol during pregnancy, as in any other period, gives about 90% of the effectiveness. But safer drugs for treating thrush are based on pimafucine or clotrimazole. Ketoconazole, which is the main active ingredient of this drug, can have a negative effect on the fetus. Despite the risk of losing a child, Livarol from thrush helps much faster and more often than other drugs.

Ignore this fungus is not only impossible, but it will not work either. The fact is that because of the accelerated development of the disease, the symptoms quickly turn into a stage when it is simply impossible to tolerate them. And if you can manage somehow with the help of curd fats with the help of daily pads, then an unpleasant smell, terrible itching, unbearable burning and inflammation can not be eliminated. But, even if the symptoms are not brightly manifested, thrush treatment is mandatory without fail. The fact that it threatens spikes, inflammation of the pelvic organs, infertility, and for pregnant women not only a miscarriage of nerves from discomfort, but also infection of the fetus.

Treating thrush in newborns is more risky for the health of the child than the candles of Livarol during pregnancy. Almost 75% of expectant mothers encounter this disease during gestation. And, if initially they try to cure it with more sparing means, then 40-45% of pregnant women who get sick again, the drugs prescribed earlier will not have the proper effect. The disease can repeat an unlimited number of times if the treatment was not sufficiently effective. That is why it is important to use Livarol during pregnancy. Another fact in favor of treatment of thrush - if infection occurred in the third trimester, the vaginal mucosa may not have time to gain the proper elasticity and balance, and this is fraught with an increase in the number and extent of ruptures during childbirth.

Absorption of ketoconazole into the blood does not exceed 1%, but nevertheless local treatment of the fungus gives the most positive results. In addition, for the fetus it is much better. A short course of treatment (from 3 to 5 days, very rarely up to 10) helps to avoid harmful effects on the child. Livarol during pregnancy is not the first drug for treatment, but many are turning to it, because Its action allows you to quickly recover and not return to this problem.

However, there are cases when even Livarol from thrush does not save. Do not forget that if you continue to have sex with the same partner before and after treatment, then the procedure is necessary for him. The fact is that it is men who are most often the cause of re-infection and they may not even know about it. The male half of the population practically does not feel this disease and is the carrier of the fungus.

But, if there are no obvious reasons for repeating the thrush, and it again and again arises, the microflora of the pregnant woman is constantly maintained in a certain balance, carefully monitoring the passage of the child at birth through the birth canal and performing postpartum treatment if necessary. Often it occurs immediately after the birth of the child.

Be healthy you and your children!
