How to restore flora after thrush treatment

Features of itching with thrush

Thrush is caused by the activity of fungal microorganisms of the genus Candida.
This fungus is normally present in almost every person. It can be found on the skin and on the mucous membranes of the mouth, in the respiratory and genitourinary tracts, and in the intestines. The fungus can live in the body of men and women. It is found even in infants. When a person is healthy, he has a strong immune system, microorganisms do not pose any harm. With weakened immunity, microflora disorders or the development of infectious diseases, the causative agent of candidiasis becomes active, multiplies quickly, forming colonies, and poisons the body of the sick person with waste products.

Depending on the individual characteristics of the body, inflammation can occur with varying degrees of intensity. A woman can feel both moderate itching and itching that is simply unbearable. During sexual intercourse and urination, the discomfort usually intensifies, turning into a burning sensation.

• during sleep;
• after swimming;
• after intercourse;
• when walking for a long time;
• during menstruation.
• after noon.

Causes of itching

A woman experiences particular discomfort during urination, sexual intercourse and menstruation, because at these moments the irritation of the mucous membranes intensifies. Also, itching tends to intensify from overheating of the external genitalia, wearing tight underwear with synthetics. Long walking and water treatments can also have a detrimental effect on a woman’s well-being.

Itching with thrush is due to a neuro-allergic nature. Its intensity can be divided into three forms:

• Medium intensity;
• Continuous;
• Intensifying.

The third type is the most difficult to tolerate, because the external genitalia are constantly itchy. All attempts to calm it down are unsuccessful, and scratching only worsens the pain. When urinating, pain appears, which interferes with its normal emptying. In addition to all of the above, itching may occur in the anus area.

You can get rid of painful itching only by eliminating the disease itself.

Let's figure out why itching occurs?

Discomfort with thrush is directly related to the proliferation of Candida fungus. Initially, it is absolutely harmless. It is present in the body of any woman. It is most often located in the vagina, but can be found in the mouth, intestines or on the skin. Candida is actively involved in metabolic processes.

But there are times when this fungus becomes too much. Then he goes into an aggressive phase, causing the woman a lot of anxiety.

Normal microflora

Beneficial microorganisms are constantly present in the vagina of every woman, which are reliable protection against all kinds of infections , preventing them from penetrating inside. If the lady has no health problems, then the microflora is fine and the beneficial bacteria feel great.

Candida fungus is also present in the vaginal area , but their number should not exceed acceptable limits. Then it will not cause any inconvenience. Also, lactobacilli constantly “live” in the female body. If their number decreases significantly, then the number of Candida increases, which leads to the development of candidiasis.

Bacteria of the genital tract's own microflora produce lactic acid and substances that have a detrimental effect on pathogenic microorganisms. They help immune system cells produce bacteria that prevent viral infections from multiplying.

The lack of favorable microflora is the cause of the development of various gynecological diseases . Its restoration is mandatory and does not require delay, otherwise there is a disruption in the functioning of other systems of the female body.

When and why does thrush become active?

Factors that contribute to the activation of opportunistic fungi:

• Exogenous factors (environment) that involve the penetration of candida into the body. These are temperatures that promote maceration (steaming) of the skin and sweating and exposure to chemicals (alkalies, acids, alcohols) on the skin.
• Endogenous factors that reduce the body's resistance. These include metabolic disorders, chronic infections, diseases of the circulatory system, pregnancy, etc. In the first year of life, children's susceptibility to Candida fungi depends on the activity of certain serum enzymes (fungistases) and salivary lysozyme.

Those most prone to candidiasis are:

• pregnant women;
• people with diabetes or other endocrine diseases;
• patients using potent and hormonal medications (corticosteroids, oral contraceptives, antibiotics);
• people with weakened immunity and a low concentration of leukocytes in the blood (patients with cancer, leukemia or leukemia, AIDS).

Who is guilty?

There are many reasons for the occurrence of this unpleasant disease. The main ones are:

1. Weak immunity. In the modern world, it is difficult to maintain the body's defenses at the proper level. Poor ecology and a sedentary lifestyle lead to the fact that our body gradually ceases to resist harmful bacteria and fungi.
2. Poor nutrition. If a woman eats a lot of sweets, flour products, and also abuses alcohol, it is likely that thrush will sooner or later overtake her.
3. Hormonal disruptions that occur during stress, menopause or pregnancy often lead to the occurrence of thrush. With ovarian dysfunction, obesity and diabetes mellitus, this disease also occurs.
4. Chronic diseases that result in decreased immunity.
5. Diseases of the endocrine system.
6. Swimming in open water and wearing wet underwear has a positive effect on the development of fungus.
7. Violation of personal hygiene rules. Using questionable skin care products.
8. Treatment with antibiotics.
9. Frequent change of sexual partners.

Antifungal drugs

You can quickly get rid of the symptoms that appear with thrush in women with the help of medications. It is strictly forbidden to resort to independent choice of drugs. It is necessary to contact a specialist who will prescribe an adequate course of treatment on an individual basis. Only a qualified doctor can choose a drug that is suitable in each specific case.

The action of antifungal agents is aimed at suppressing the activity of the fungus and its complete destruction. The drugs increase the permeability of cell membranes, and due to this, the fungal infection dies.

Most often, specialists resort to prescribing the following medications:

1. Clotrimazole cream. Its use begins when the first symptoms of the disease appear. The drug has a calming effect and destroys fungal infection. The use of ointments involves applying them to the affected area. Miconazole has a similar effect.
2. Vaginal tablets Clotrimazole. They are inserted into the vagina and thereby alleviate the course of the disease. As a result of using this medicine, it is possible to relieve irritation in the genital area.
3. Suppositories Polygynax. The drug helps restore vaginal microflora, thicken the mucous membrane and destroy fungal infections. The effect of use is observed quite quickly.
4. Terzhinan. The drug has a complex effect. It contains components that not only help destroy the fungus, but also have an antiseptic effect.
5. Diflucan. The therapy consists of inserting just one capsule into the vagina. In mild cases of the disease, the drug is effective.

You can get rid of the unpleasant symptoms of thrush both with the help of medications and by using traditional methods. Regardless of which option is chosen, the course of treatment should be discussed with your doctor. Moreover, this must be done before starting to use any medicine.

Symptoms of candidiasis

Signs of thrush are divided into three groups:

• Superficial candidiasis (thrush of the mucous membranes and smooth skin);
• Visceral or systemic candidiasis is a disease characterized by damage to internal organs and their systems;
• Candidamicides are a separate group representing secondary allergic manifestations.

Superficial candidiasis is also divided into several “subtypes”:

1. Candidal stomatitis. The result of the vital activity of the fungus is a whitish coating on the oral mucosa. The plaque resembles a coagulated protein and is easily removed. In the absence of treatment and low immunity, dense films form in the mouth, after removal of which ulcers and erosions form.
2. Candida glossitis. It is characterized by hyperemia and dryness, the presence of a whitish film on the tongue, in the acute phase of the disease. The chronic form of the disease leads to atrophy of the tongue papillae and the formation of a gray coating.
3. Candidiasis in the corners of the mouth. Manifests itself in the form of cracks and erosions.
4. Candida cheilitis – swelling, dry crusts and cracks on the lips.
5. Candidiasis in large folds - localized in the inguinal, axillary, intergluteal areas, under the mammary glands, and is often found in obese women.
6. Candidiasis on small folds. The areas between the fingers and the folds of the hands and feet are affected. It is expressed by the appearance of pustules and blisters, skin hyperemia. Itching is pronounced.
7. Genital candidiasis is a thrush familiar to many women. This type of disease manifests itself in the form of hyperemia of the mucous membranes of the genital organs, a white coating appears, and a discharge of a cheesy consistency appears. An additional symptom is severe burning and itching.
8. Candidal onychomycosis and paronychia. Damage to the periungual fold, sensation of pain, swelling. After this, the process is localized on the nail plate itself.

How long does it take for wounds and cracks in the skin of the labia to heal after treatment?

There is no way around this without a visit to the doctor. At the first symptoms of candidiasis, it is necessary to do a microscopy of a vaginal smear. If it turns out that you do have thrush, your doctor will be required to prescribe effective treatment for you.

Typically, antifungal drugs of internal (tablets) and local (gels, ointments, suppositories) action, as well as antimicrobial agents, are prescribed.

You can eliminate the burning and itching of thrush in several different ways. However, it is worth remembering that none of them brings complete recovery and does not cancel a visit to the doctor to prescribe full treatment.

Here's how to relieve severe itching and burning:

• Washing with baking soda solution.

For 1 liter of warm boiled water you should take 1 tbsp. spoon of soda, stir until completely dissolved. Gently wash yourself with the resulting solution and wipe the vaginal walls with a cotton pad soaked in the solution.

• Douching with hydrogen peroxide.

Under no circumstances should you just take a ready-made pharmaceutical solution! Hydrogen peroxide is dissolved in warm boiled water at the rate of 2 teaspoons per 1 liter of water. The resulting solution is used for 10-15 minutes of douching with a slow stream.

• Washing with herbal decoctions.

Decoctions of chamomile, calendula and oak bark soothe itching and reduce inflammation of the mucous membrane. For the best effect, it is advisable to use all three ingredients in one decoction.

• Treatment with antiseptic solutions.

A solution of miramistin or chlorhexidine applied to a cotton pad should be used to treat the vaginal walls and mucous membrane of the external genitalia.

• Antifungal ointment or cream.

Clotrimazole-based cream softens the mucous membrane well and can relieve itching in just a few minutes. It is highly advisable that the cream be prescribed by a doctor who will select the active ingredient in accordance with the severity of thrush and the individual characteristics of the body.

Dilute 2-3 drops of tea tree oil in warm boiled water, moisten a cotton pad or swab with the solution and treat the external genitalia and vaginal walls.

Before taking any drug, be sure to consult your doctor.

All these remedies will help relieve severe itching and alleviate the condition, but it should be remembered that they do not kill the fungal spores remaining in the glandular layer of the vaginal wall, so a relapse of the disease is possible after a while. For full treatment, systemic therapy, diet and proper care will be required.

The state of pregnancy makes the female body weak, it is easily susceptible to infectious diseases. Candidiasis is one of them. During this period, general drugs that are absorbed into the blood are contraindicated for women, so treatment of candidiasis in a pregnant woman consists only of local treatment and elimination of the source of the fungal infection.

The gynecologist prescribes suppositories, creams and vaginal tablets that relieve the symptoms of the disease. Anti-inflammatory and antiseptic agents are also used for this purpose: borax in glycerin (sodium tetraborate), brilliant green. Since almost all drugs are contraindicated in the first trimester, these solutions are used to treat the vagina before bed.

Thrush is characterized by a number of symptoms: burning, itching, pain in the vagina and white discharge. Depending on the stage, some symptoms may be absent, for example, pain in the vagina, but itching and burning are symptoms that appear in all infected people. Below we will take a closer look at the symptoms and give tips on how to get rid of them.

Itching occurs in the labia area, near the clitoris and the entrance to the vagina. Scratching the mucous membrane may cause a burning sensation. Also, a burning sensation is characteristic of the vagina from the inside and is felt when inserting the penis or with strong arousal.

No. Symptoms appear depending on the stage. If the amount of mushrooms is insignificant, then the woman may not feel a burning sensation on the labia. If the fungus is in large quantities, then burning is an inevitable symptom.

After completing the course, the woman feels good - nothing bothers her.

The wounds heal within 2-7 days, depending on their depth. The main thing is not to comb or pick.

Burning and itching are common symptoms of thrush. To eliminate them, treat them comprehensively. If you manage to get rid of the itching, but the problem from the inside is not cured, then relapses will constantly plague you. Treat yourself on time and the symptoms of thrush will go away forever!

How to relieve itching from thrush at home

There are proven traditional methods of treatment that do not harm the body and at the same time help relieve itching due to thrush. Only natural products and natural ingredients are used in the therapy process:

1. Decoctions of herbs such as chamomile, St. John's wort, sage, yarrow and calendula have an antifungal effect. To prepare the medicine, one tablespoon of dry herb is poured with boiling water and the liquid is allowed to cool. The prepared decoction is used for douching. This procedure should be performed when the burning sensation intensifies. Washing with a decoction helps eliminate excessive discharge and itching in the genital area.
2. When itching and burning appear due to thrush, a regular soda solution will help. With its help, the vaginal mucous membranes are quickly alkalized, which prevents the proliferation of fungal infections. To prepare a medicinal solution, pour a tablespoon of soda with boiled water and stir. The resulting liquid is used for douching. As a result of topical application of a soda solution, it is possible to relieve itching and relieve irritation.
3. Oak bark has a calming effect on the vaginal mucosa. A couple of tablespoons of this product are brewed in boiling water. The infusion is poured into a deep container and left in the warm liquid for a quarter of an hour. After this procedure, the body is wiped with a towel and an antifungal cream is applied, which is prescribed by the doctor.
4. Lotions based on glycerin and borax are effective in combating itching. With their help, it is also possible to eliminate swelling in the genital area.
5. A weak solution of potassium permanganate is used in the form of douching and baths. Regular washing with this pink liquid also turns out to be effective.
6. A tampon soaked in sea buckthorn oil will help relieve itching. It needs to be inserted into the vagina for a quarter of an hour.
7. Essential oils will help in the fight against itching. They are used in the form of applications. Any of the essential oils is mixed with olive oil in a ratio of 1:20. Then moisten the napkin and apply it to the affected area for a quarter of an hour. Thanks to such procedures, it is possible to eliminate the inflammatory process and destroy secondary infections.

Diagnosis of candidiasis

The disease is diagnosed by examining the patient (visual method). The gynecologist immediately sees areas of inflammation and a white coating in areas affected by fungi. During the examination, smears for infections must be taken.

Next, laboratory analyzes of the taken material are carried out, inoculation on special media and subsequent identification of yeast cells and pseudomycelium. Other pathogenic pathogens of infection are also identified - thrush, developing and destroying beneficial lactobacilli, quickly frees up space for the reproduction of other conditional and true pathogens.

How to treat with folk remedies?

Candida fungus is quite resistant to therapy, so alternative treatment methods should not be neglected. However, such treatment should be started with the consent of the doctor. In order to neutralize the causative agent of the disease, it is necessary to create an alkaline environment in the vagina. But remember that it is in an alkaline environment that pathogens of sexually transmitted and bacterial diseases thrive.

That is why we recommend consulting with your doctor before starting treatment.

So, what traditional medicine will help us cope with the disease:

1. Baths with sea salt.
2. Lemon. Mash one slice of lemon and pour a glass of boiling water. Cool and strain. Wash yourself with the resulting infusion for 10 days in a row.
3. Chamomile and calendula decoction. Pour 1 liter of boiling water over 1 tbsp. a spoonful of chamomile and 2 tbsp. spoons of calendula. After the broth has infused, strain it and douche.
4. St. John's wort is great for candidiasis. Take 2 teaspoons of St. John's wort and pour a glass of warm water. Simmer the broth in a water bath for 15-20 minutes. Then cool, strain and syringe.
5. Soda. This product will create both an alkaline and anti-inflammatory environment, which is detrimental to thrush. Douche with warm soda solution until the itching disappears.

To prevent the disease, you should drink carrot juice. It has a strengthening effect on the immune system and helps stop the progression of the disease. Don't neglect red berries either. Cranberries and viburnum, for example, contain a high percentage of acid and can fight off thrush.

Diet

During the treatment of thrush, it is important not only to use medications, but also to follow a diet. This is because certain foods feed Candida, such as:

• Sugar, bakery and confectionery products;
• Beer and other drinks containing yeast;
• Fruits with high sugar content, juices (bananas, grapes, peaches);
• Sweet fermented milk products.

Also, if itching reappears, you should avoid pickles, smoked foods and excessive consumption of spices.

Diversify your diet with fresh fruits and vegetables, and don’t forget to drink up to 2 liters of water a day, and then the mushroom will simply have nothing to eat. You can create an unfavorable environment for fungal growth using seaweed, carrot and beet juice, lemons, parsley and dill. Teas and decoctions from chamomile, oregano, rowan, and clover bring considerable benefit at any stage of candidiasis.

Despite the fact that the causes of residual itching are different and require different approaches, only we ourselves can decide how to get rid of it. Whether it's drugstore remedies or affordable folk methods, common sense should always be ahead. If itching or other signs of illness do not go away 3-5 days after treatment, it is better to seek professional help and not put your health at risk.

Treatment of vaginal candidiasis in women

Treatment of vaginal candidiasis involves local and general treatment.

• Local therapy involves the use of vaginal creams and suppositories that contain antifungal substances. When using these drugs, you need to remember that their effectiveness decreases if administered incorrectly. So, it is necessary to first remove plaque and secretions from the mucous membranes of the vagina (possibly with the help of special douching), then the effect of the drug will be much more effective.
• At the same time, oral medications are prescribed. These include drugs containing fluconazole, natamycin, ketoconazole, etc.

In addition, it is necessary to adhere to the rules of personal hygiene using special products. In this case, ordinary soap can lead to dryness of the mucous membrane.

Causes of itching

What are the reasons for itchy sensations in the intimate area? This question is relevant for many women who have personally experienced symptoms of thrush such as burning, itching and curd-like copious discharge from the genital tract. The main cause of candidiasis is infection of the vaginal mucous membranes with fungi of the genus Candida, which quickly multiply and provoke local inflammation of the soft tissues with all its manifestations.

The waste products of fungal microorganisms have a detrimental effect on the nerve endings of the mucous membrane of the vagina and cervix, which disrupts their trophism, reduces density and, accordingly, increases vulnerability. As a result, other pathogenic and conditionally pathogenic microorganisms join the damaged areas of the vagina, provoking the development of itching in places where they accumulate.

Hygiene for thrush

Remember that body cleanliness is one of the most important conditions that should be followed in order to defeat thrush.

Make sure that your hands are clean during intimate caresses and washing. When washing, try to ensure that running water goes from the vagina to the anus.

You should wash yourself at least twice a day, as well as before and after sexual intercourse. On menstruation days, increase the number of water procedures to 4-5.

Try to track how your skin reacts to a variety of hygiene products. Some shower gels can only increase irritation. Use special products with a pH level of 3.5 - 4.

It is better not to use traditional shower gels and soaps. They kill the natural microflora inside the vagina and further promote the proliferation of harmful microorganisms.

Be especially careful when choosing gaskets. Make sure they are made from natural fabrics. Try to change them every 2 to 4 hours. It is advisable to avoid using tampons altogether. It is best if you choose panties made from natural materials. It is strictly forbidden to wear thongs. They carry yeast into the vagina, which usually accumulates in the anal area.

Don't forget to change your underwear after each water procedure.

When washing, use a powder that does not contain phosphates. Washing these chemicals out of fabric is not an easy task. The damage they can cause to your sensitive skin is enormous.

Lifestyle tips during treatment

In order to get rid of itching during thrush, you must follow certain recommendations:

• Do not use tampons during your period. Preference should be given to gaskets. When changing this hygiene product, be sure to wash yourself;
• Avoid sexual intercourse for the duration of treatment. Firstly, there is a risk of a fungal infection of the sexual partner. Secondly, after sexual intercourse the itching becomes significantly stronger;
• give preference to underwear made from natural cotton fabrics;
• Eliminate alcohol intake completely. Stop smoking as well;
• stop using oral contraceptives;
• Carry out washing using special means and refuse to use regular toilet soap;
• do not resort to self-medication. It is extremely important to consult a specialist in a timely manner.

It has been noted that thrush begins to progress in cases where patients do not follow a diet. During treatment, it is necessary to exclude all confectionery and baked goods from the diet, as they create a favorable environment in the body for the development of a fungal infection. It is also recommended to abstain from honey.

Consumption of vinegar and alcohol-containing drinks leads to increased acidity, and this in turn provokes the active development of fungus. For this reason, patients are strongly advised to refrain from taking all kinds of sauces that contain vinegar, as well as alcohol.

Pickles, carbonated drinks, spicy and spicy foods provoke thrush. At the same time, spices such as bay leaf, cinnamon and cloves have a detrimental effect on fungal infection. They are recommended to be added not only to dishes, but also to drinks.

Foods such as fish, vegetables, lean meat, poultry, garlic, herbs, fruits, various cereals, fermented milk drinks and herbal teas will help reduce the activity of the fungus. It is recommended to prepare drinks from rowan, rosehip, blueberry, chamomile, sea buckthorn and clover.

Treatment of candidiasis in men

Candidiasis is less common in men, since the absence of air is important for the pathogen, i.e. The fungus must penetrate deep into the urethra to reproduce. If this happens, then treatment cannot be delayed, otherwise the acute form will quickly turn into chronic.

Local and general drugs are used for treatment. The source of the fungal infection is destroyed by taking a drug containing fluconazole. Local treatment consists of applying an ointment containing clotrimazole to the mucous membrane of the penis. For greater effectiveness, before applying ointments, it is necessary to wash the head of the penis with a weak solution of soda.

Sex with candidiasis

If you have been diagnosed with thrush, then this is not at all a reason to refuse love pleasures. But there are some rules that both you and your partner will need to take into account:

1. Limit the number of contacts as much as possible.
2. Continue treatment with your partner.
3. Avoid oral sex.
4. Don't forget the condom.

If you notice that during or after sex the burning sensation in the vagina intensifies, it is better to stop contact for a while.

During intercourse, the vaginal mucosa becomes inflamed. The inflamed epithelium is subject to severe friction. This leads to the fact that the white plaque is erased and the affected areas begin to bleed. Thus, intimate intimacy can cause even more severe itching, burning and even pain. In addition, cracks and ulcers may appear in the vagina.

Do not forget that during sexual intercourse, thrush is transmitted to your partner. Therefore, if you are sexually active, it would be prudent to undergo treatment together.

It is advisable to exclude oral sex. Candida fungus is often localized in the oral cavity and can cause infection.

Remember, mucous areas affected by thrush are as open as possible to infection with other, more serious diseases.

Restoration of microflora

In most cases, it is the imbalance of the vaginal microflora that causes itching after treatment for thrush. To cope with the problem, it is recommended to use probiotics internally, which are prescribed by a doctor.

Bacterial candidiasis, or gardnerellosis - causes and methods of treatment

It is important to follow the correct diet: exclude confectionery, sweet, fermented milk, and carbonated drinks, yeast bread, and pastries from the menu.

For intimate hygiene, it is necessary to use products with a neutral acid reaction: such products do not negatively affect the fragile microflora of the vagina and external genitalia.

Restoring microflora is the main task in the treatment of candidiasis. It is the acidic environment that represents a protective barrier to pathogenic elements that can provoke and cause infectious diseases in the genitourinary system.

• After thrush, itching remains - if the microflora is disturbed, it causes discomfort. Do not scratch the affected area, because you can get injured and cause even more infection;
• The presence of dryness can cause unpleasant and painful sensations during sexual intercourse, deviations in the opportunistic flora;
• The presence of unpleasant discharge - sometimes after treatment the discharge does not go away, this fact indicates either a violation of the flora inside the vagina, or the presence of an individual reaction of the body to antifungal agents;
• The presence of a burning sensation - this symptom of the disease most often causes pain during urination.

It is worth noting that if the itching remains after treatment, it is necessary to undergo a clinical test to determine the vaginal flora. Based on a laboratory smear, it will be possible to detect a decrease in the level of bifidobacteria and lactobacilli, which are responsible for maintaining normal levels of microflora.

Treatment of chronic candidiasis

Chronic candidiasis affects about 3% of the female population. Recurrence of thrush can be caused by any infectious disease or chronic infection. Treating chronic candidiasis is quite difficult and the process is lengthy. First you need to determine the source of the disease that you need to get rid of.

At this stage, the greatest difficulties in diagnosis are observed, since there can be many reasons for the disease. Treatment of chronic candidiasis is also complex. Levorin or nystatin are prescribed as antifungal drugs. If these medications do not help, amphotericin is used. At the same time, the patient takes medications containing B vitamins, vitamins A, C, etc.

Proper treatment and prevention of the development of dysbiosis

To prevent vaginal dysbiosis, probiotics with lactobacilli are most often prescribed in the form of restorative suppositories, which not only help restore the native microflora, but also help strengthen local immunity. But for their use, the upper layer of the vaginal epithelium is important, which is exfoliated during some inflammatory processes.

In this case, the beneficial flora simply has nothing to “catch onto”, and it just leaves without taking root. That is why, before restoring the flora, you need to start restoring the tissues of the internal organs of the reproductive system. To prevent such problems from arising, you need to adhere to a number of rules during any treatment:

1. Any disease must be treated from the first signs.
2. It is known that not all pathologies manifest symptoms immediately, and therefore it is necessary to undergo regular preventive examinations.
3. When treating with antibiotics, antiviral, hormonal drugs, it is recommended to take oral probiotics in parallel, since intestinal dysbiosis is the main cause of the development of vaginal microflora imbalance.
4. Do not use strong systemic drugs such as antibiotics or hormonal medications without a doctor's prescription.
5. Treat gynecological diseases only after examination and appropriate doctor’s prescriptions.
6. Treatment of infectious diseases is carried out together with the sexual partner.

How to restore microflora

Antifungal therapy for thrush causes great damage to the vaginal microflora, as a result of which most women begin to feel itchy again, and burning and dryness occur again. This in turn affects both general well-being and intimacy.

Lactobacilli take an active part in the fight against fungus, so it is extremely important to replenish the loss of lactobacilli with the help of drugs such as Linex, Hilak Forte and others. As a supplement, you can use kefir tampons: soak a cotton swab with regular kefir and place it in the vagina overnight.

If there is a burning sensation after the course of treatment, is this normal?

When detecting candidiasis of the skin, the following is carried out:

• Elimination of fungal microorganisms. For this purpose, antiseptic and antimycotic agents are used - alcohol or aqueous solutions of brilliant green, methylene blue. In addition - boric acid ointment, Castellani liquid, a solution of resorcinol, rivanol, silver nitrate and any substances that have a wide spectrum of antifungal action.
• Elimination of genitourinary or intestinal candidiasis. For these purposes, medications are prescribed for oral administration or topical treatment (ointments, creams, suppositories, etc.).
• Elimination of predisposing factors to candidiasis - chronic diseases, negative external influences, etc.

Drugs for the treatment of candidiasis

What drugs to treat candidiasis, the type of treatment and the duration of the course are determined only by the doctor. There are many different medications that relieve the symptoms of thrush and are freely sold in pharmacies, but self-medication is unacceptable. Incorrect selection and administration of medications will lead to aggravation of the situation, and the disease itself will become chronic.

Among the main drugs to combat thrush, the following are popular:

• Polyene group of antibiotics (nystatin, natamycin);
• Triazole derivatives (fluconazole);
• Imidazoledioxane derivatives (livarol);
• Imidazole derivatives (clotrimazole).

Prevention of thrush

Preventive measures should begin by stopping contact with the carrier of the infection. At the same time, it is necessary to observe the rules of personal intimate hygiene and strengthen the immune system as much as possible. It is extremely important to promptly diagnose and treat sexually transmitted diseases, since candidiasis is a frequent companion to diseases transmitted through sexual contact.

To prevent infection, you should adhere to the following rules:

• Use of barrier methods of contraception;
• Timely examination of the genitourinary system and treatment of inflammatory and other diseases;
• Avoiding sexual relations with infected people;
• Do not use intimate deodorants, scented pads and tampons;
• You should wear underwear only made from natural fabric;
• You cannot douche unnecessarily, as this process leads to disruption of the normal microflora and colonization of it by pathogenic microorganisms.

Thrush is not only a discomfort, but, above all, the activity of pathogenic microorganisms in the body. In order to effectively treat, rather than cure, this disease, it is necessary to undergo a comprehensive laboratory and diagnostic examination, on the basis of which the doctor will be able to draw up a treatment plan.

Conclusion

Candidiasis, as well as the disturbance of the microflora after it, is a result that occurs due to neglect of one’s own health.

Leading an incorrect lifestyle, which causes a decrease in the resistance of the immune system, as well as rarely seeking professional help, causes this picture.

For this reason, if you want to get rid of a number of diseases, including vaginal dysbiosis, it is recommended to change your attitude towards health.
