Hello, I need your help if you don’t mind; I am 9 months pregnant anytime from now I will deliver. Whenever I go to shower I get this itching on my private parts. I went to the chemist they told me its yeast infection and they gave me some drugs but all is in vain. Could it be that I am using strong perfume soap e.g. Imperial or Dettol skin soap or could it be the harsh weather (currently in Mombasa)

Itching and yeast infections are common during pregnancy. To ease the symptom,
- Avoid strong and perfumed soaps or antibacterial ones as they make you prone to it
- Wear cotton underwear
- Take lots of water
- Make it a habit of taking yoghurt and mala that has friendly bacteria that help fight yeast
- Sleep in loose fitting underwear.
