A member asked:
Why is it so easy to get a vaginal infection during pregnancy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hormones: The high hormone levels of pregnancy make it easier to get yeast infections as they do with oral contraceptives. They also increase the risk of hyperglycemia (gestational diabetes) and that increases the risk of yeast infection. Hope this helps.
