Current medical status: im 34 weeks pregnant

Thrush is a very common vaginal infection during pregnancy. Swelling and pain in the vagina and vulva can be found in severe vaginal yeast infections.


You should consult your gynecologist because severe yeast vaginal infections can provoke a pre-term birth.
