A member asked:

Does pregnancy cause yeast infection? what kind of medicine is safe to take during pregnancy to help with yeast infection?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yeast infection: These are quite common in pregnant women particularly during the second trimester. During pregnancy physicians recommend vaginal creams and suppositories only. The oral medication, Diflucan (fluconazole) (a single-dose medication), has not been proven safe during pregnancy and lactation.
