Sara Malhotra, a 35-year-old software developer...
Sara Malhotra, a 35-year-old software developer and new mother 6 months postpartum, was exhausted. She was battling intense vaginal itching, a thick, white discharge, and soreness while breastfeeding her daughter. She felt overwhelmed, attributing it to 'new mom stress' and hormonal changes, but the discomfort was relentless. Her OB/GYN, Dr. Patel, diagnosed a severe Candida albicans (yeast) infection, a common postpartum vulvovaginitis. Dr. Patel prescribed a longer course of antifungal medication, considering Sara's breastfeeding status, and offered reassurance about its safety. The treatment brought gradual relief, though the first few days were tough while managing a baby. Full recovery took about two weeks. Emotionally, Sara felt validated that her suffering had a tangible cause and treatment. Moving from a state of silent endurance and guilt for focusing on her own needs to one of self-care, she felt more like herself again, better equipped to enjoy motherhood without constant physical distress.
