Özet
Pamukçuk, yenidoğan bebeklerde ve emziren annelerde sık görülen bir mantar enfeksiyonudur. Candida albicans'ın ağız mukozasında veya meme başında aşırı çoğalması sonucu ortaya çıkar. Bu durum bebeklerde beslenme güçlüğüne, annelerde ise meme başı ağrısı ve çatlaklarına yol açarak emzirme sürecini olumsuz etkiler. Bu olgu sunumu, emzirme sırasında pamukçuk enfeksiyonunun nedenlerini, risk faktörlerini ve yönetim stratejilerini incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Ayrıca etkili önleme ve tedavi yöntemleri hakkında bilgi vermektedir. Özellikle, pamukçuk enfeksiyonunun doğru hijyen uygulamaları ve uygun emzirme teknikleri ile nasıl önlenebileceği ele alınmaktadır. Ebelerin, pamukçuk yaşayan annelere rehberlik ve destek sağlamadaki kritik rolü vurgulanmaktadır.
Thrush is a common fungal infection in newborns and breastfeeding mothers. It occurs due to the overgrowth of Candida albicans in the oral mucosa of infants or on the nipples of mothers. This condition negatively affects the breastfeeding process by causing feeding difficulties in infants and nipple pain or cracks in mothers. The purpose of this case report is to examine the causes, risk factors, and strategies for managing thrush. It also provides information on effective prevention and treatment methods. The study particularly emphasizes how thrush infections can be prevented through proper hygiene practices and proper breastfeeding techniques. The critical role of lactation consultants in providing practical guidance and emotional support to mothers with thrush is highlighted.
