Many women have thrush in the early stages of pregnancy. This disease is caused by Candida. That is why the scientific name for this disease is candidiasis.
The main signs of this disease are itching and discharge of a curd- like appearance, with a strong sour smell.

According to the study, it is known that the thrush does not harm either the future mother or her child, but still there is little pleasant, which is why it should be disposed of. To date, there are many ways to treat this fungal disease. It is believed that both men and women are carriers of candidiasis. This infection is in almost every body, but it may not manifest itself for years. And only with a decrease in immunity, the symptoms of thrush begin to appear, this is what happens with the body of a pregnant woman. Also, the manifestation of thrush during pregnancy can be due to wearing synthetic underwear, or very frequent, gross sexual intercourse, in which the walls of the vagina are injured. Vaginal dysbiosis, a variety of diseases of the genitourinary system and gastrointestinal tract can also cause thrush.
It is also possible to explain the appearance of thrush from the point of view of physiology, since the microflora of the vagina changes during pregnancy. A favorable condition for the development of thrush is the increased level of female hormones in the body, which happens at the time of pregnancy.
Some experts argue that the "nursery" for thrush is the stomach and intestines. In confirmation of this - in most women suffering from thrush, during the analysis of feces, fungi of this type are found.
