vaginal itching during pregnancy
Vaginal itching during pregnancy can be quite uncomfortable, but it can be avoided with the use of preventive measures. It is caused by changes in hormones that in turn lead to changes that affect the pH balance of the vagina.
Additionally, hormonal changes during the early phase of pregnancy causes an increase in mucus and sweat production, which makes the private area “wet.” This makes it easier for bacteria to enter and cause itching.
Vaginal itching can be a painful and uncomfortable experience for both mother and fetus. If left untreated, the itching can turn into more serious problems and harm the fetus. This condition can even lead to respiratory infections in newborns.
