Because of what there is a thrush?

Recently, on television and on the Internet, you can see a lot of advertisements that call on women to get rid of thrush once and for all. What kind of ailment is this? Because of what there is a thrush? And how can she "resist"? These are the issues that will be considered in this article.

Thrush (candida colpitis) is a fungal disease that occurs in 80 women out of 100. Almost every woman who has experienced thrush can not completely get rid of it. Finding out why thrush appears, first you should understand that Candida fungus is the cause of this disease. By itself, it is harmless and participates in metabolic processes along with other microorganisms. However, under the influence of some factors, this fungus can become aggressive and bring a lot of trouble.

The main causes, of which there is thrush in women, most often becomes a violation in the vagina of microflora. Thus the microflora can be broken as a result of getting dirt, non-observance of the necessary intimate hygiene, use of other people's towels. Regardless of what causes the thrush, most of all it develops and worsens during the hot season of the year. It is the heat that most provokes the development and growth of bacteria and fungi. Thrush can also occur as an adverse event in any other diseases of a woman. In such cases, treatment of thrush should be carried out simultaneously with the treatment of the disease, which was the cause of its development. The cause, which causes thrush, may be weakened immunity or simply pregnancy, as well as taking antibiotics or contraceptives.

In order to avoid this disease, it is important to know not only why thrush appears, but also how it can be infected. The answer to this question is simple: given that this is a fungal disease, infection can occur sexually or by the way of life. Household contamination can be with a rare change of underwear, when washing a healthy man's laundry with the linen of an infected person. The fungi that cause the pathogenic process can also be transmitted through contact with water (bathing with an infection carrier in one bath, a river, a swimming pool).

Sexually, you can get a thrush after an intimate relationship with a man. It is interesting that men are only carriers of this disease, i.e. Most often they do not even observe the manifestation of thrush at home.

The best treatment is prevention. A thrush, like any other disease, is easier to prevent than cure. To do this, you must follow the most basic rules. Wash thoroughly in the morning and evening, change your underwear every 24 hours, use a separate towel for the genitals when wiping. Washing is better for carrying out with chlorine-containing powders, the laundry should be ironed whenever possible. After bathing in public places, it is best to do preventive syringing with herbs. When you have sex, you should use condoms or some other barrier protection measures. You can also use special spermicide lubricants, decontaminating bacteria. Well, probably the main rule is a timely visit to the gynecologist (all women should undergo a half-yearly examination).

If the thrush already appeared, then, "discarding" the prophylaxis, one must take up the treatment. Today, there are already a huge number of effective drugs, including vaginal suppositories, and tablets for oral administration. Often, along with pills and candles, the doctor prescribes syringing with astringent anti-inflammatory decoctions. At the same time for the douching, you can take the bark of oak, celandine, string, chamomile, or you can just buy a gynecological collection in the pharmacy , which is designed specifically for these purposes.
