Sex culture: Why is sex also called "cloud and rain"?

Fungal vaginitis usually does not directly affect pregnancy, but may reduce the probability of pregnancy through indirect factors. Fungal vaginitis is mainly caused by Candida albicans infection and manifests as vulvar itching, tofu-like leucorrhea and other symptoms. If not treated promptly, other complications may occur.

Fungal vaginitis itself will not cause direct damage to the fallopian tubes, ovaries or uterus, so it will not hinder the combination of sperm and eggs or the implantation of fertilized eggs. However, inflammation may cause changes in the vaginal environment, such as pH imbalance or increased secretions, which may affect sperm survival and motility, thereby reducing the probability of pregnancy. In addition, severe vulvar itching and painful intercourse may reduce the frequency of sexual intercourse and indirectly affect the chance of pregnancy.

In rare cases, if fungal vaginitis recurs or is combined with other infections, the infection may ascend to the cervix or endometrium, causing cervicitis or endometritis. These complications may have a more pronounced impact on conception, such as abnormal cervical mucus that blocks the passage of sperm, or endometrial inflammation that affects embryo implantation. However, this situation is relatively rare, and most patients will not develop to this stage after standard treatment.

It is recommended that if symptoms of fungal vaginitis occur during pregnancy preparation, you should seek medical treatment promptly and use clotrimazole vaginal tablets, miconazole nitrate suppositories, fluconazole capsules and other drugs for treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Avoid sexual intercourse during treatment, keep the vulva clean and dry, and choose breathable cotton underwear. Daily intake of sugar-free yogurt and other probiotic-containing foods can help maintain the balance of vaginal flora. If recurrence occurs, it is recommended that the spouse undergo examination and treatment at the same time to avoid cross-infection.
