Can vaginal mycosis prevent pregnancy?
The vaginal environment plays an important role in the desire to become pregnant. It should be such that the sperm are not hindered in their migration towards the cervix and uterus. A fungal infection is usually accompanied by a disturbed pH value of the vagina, which is unfavorable for the sperm.
In addition, in most women, the fungal infection is accompanied by severe pain during sexual intercourse, which is of course also unfavorable. However, getting pregnant with a vaginal fungal infection is by no means impossible. If there is no desire to have children, contraception should be used in any case. It is important to note that some of the locally applied antimycotic ointments can damage condoms.
