Q: Can I treat thrush in pregnancy?
A:
Yes. The diagnosis should be verified from a vaginal swab. Treatment in the form of a cream and pessary is safe in pregnancy and can be bought over the counter at most pharmacies. The treatment should include one vaginal pessary. You should seek the advice of a doctor before taking oral treatment for thrush or if your symptoms persist. Adjusting your diet can also help, as it can change the acidity of the vagina.
