Monsoon alert in pregnancy: Essential vaginal health tips for expectant mothers

Monsoon brings in the clouds of respite from heat and gives relief from the harsh Summer Sun and ends the much awaited wait. Women gear up to change their attire to better suit the weather and carry their umbrellas and rain jackets outdoors. The leather footwear is put away and the waterproof footwear is out. The rise in humidity often associated with bouts of rising heat where the rainfall is slow & interrupted is bound to stay. A huge cloud cover and poor sunshine brings the perfect setting when the clothes do not completely dry and often carry a dampness in them. All these create a conducive environment for pathogens to flourish and grow.

In these situations it’s apt for pregnant ladies to be aware and actively prevent vaginal infections as well as know & recognise symptoms, when best to meet the Obstetrician & Gynaecologist.
