Errors in the treatment of thrush
When this problem occurs, women immediatelytry to self-medicate. Doctors are tired of repeating how dangerous it is to do this. In fact, every second woman in the world, having watched advertising, begins to consider herself a skilled doctor. Women buy all the modern drugs they know. This only plays into the hands of advertisers. You cannot choose the most famous or the most expensive drug in the hope that it will provide miraculous help. You should also take into account the fact that even the most famous drugs are not suitable for everyone. To use them, you must consult a doctor. Only he can prescribe a course of treatment that will not lead to an exacerbation of the disease. You should also remember that the causative agents of the disease begin to get used to drugs over time, they develop so-called immunity. This may be the reason why long-term treatment of the disease occurs. Now let's consider how exactly the treatment occurs. Thrush is an infectious disease, the cause of its occurrence is fungi. Usually, such fungi are not dangerous, they peacefully exist in the body of every healthy person. But as soon as favorable conditions arise, they begin to multiply at an incredible speed. This is the most dangerous thing. It is the excessive reproduction of these bacteria that requires treatment.
Causes of the disease
There are many reasons for their reproduction.For example, it can be an increase in body temperature during a cold, taking unsuitable hormonal drugs, stress, improper protection during sexual intercourse, excessive use of antibiotics. Sometimes it is impossible to even guess what exactly caused the development of this viral disease. If you have already become infected with thrush, then the first thing you need to do is prevent further proliferation of bacteria. The next step will be taking medications that will kill the bacteria that have already formed in the body. And finally, you will need to make every effort to ensure that the natural microflora of your body is completely restored. Thrush can be treated with a variety of drugs. These can be suppositories, ointments, creams, and tablets. It is only very important that these drugs are prescribed to you by a doctor. It should also be remembered that the cost of the drug very often does not affect its effectiveness. This is affected by the manufacturer's markup. There are many good inexpensive products that give the same effect during treatment. Treatment can be both external and internal. In order to quickly get rid of all the unpleasant sensations associated with the disease, it is recommended to use vaginal preparations. Within 24 hours, you will be able to feel that the unpleasant burning and itching have stopped. In general, taking such drugs will often not affect your health in any way. They can be taken by women of any age. The most common among them are: nystatin, iconazole, clotrimazole, natamycin and miconazole. As you can see, many of them have similar names that are easy to remember. Nystatin is especially good in the early stages of the disease. It has earned a huge number of good reviews from women. Although recently many equally good and more modern drugs for the treatment of thrush have appeared. There are contraindications to the use of some drugs. For example, suppositories should be used very carefully, especially if they are "broad-spectrum". If you use them regularly, they can disrupt the natural habitat of bacteria. This happens because they contain too many active substances. Excessive use of suppositories can result in vaginosis. Such drugs are used only if your disease is in a very advanced stage and is causing a lot of trouble.
Treating Thrush
For most women, thrush is the firsta symptom of the onset of menstruation. The disease itself usually goes away with it. Therefore, you cannot start treating thrush at this time. Patients should not repeatedly use strong local remedies. You may experience irritation. There are some recommendations on how to properly use suppositories and creams. These drugs melt and become liquid under the influence of body temperature. It is clear that in a liquid state they will flow out. Therefore, it is best to use them in a lying position. For example, leave them on overnight. Then you will get rid of the need to wash off dirty underwear. Do not forget that usually, in order for thrush to completely leave you, long-term treatment is necessary. This will take at least 10 days. Many women make a mistake and stop taking medications as soon as the first symptoms disappear. If you do this, then do not be surprised that the disease returns to you again and again. This disease is contagious. Therefore, if you get sick, then refuse sexual intercourse for this time. It may happen that bacteria from your body will get to your partner. You will not only infect your partner, but you also risk getting sick again. In addition to using popular medications, it makes sense to remember about traditional medicine. Often, traditional medicine gives a more effective result. They are often used when you need to eliminate the first symptoms of the disease. For example, you can get rid of itching with great success. Many doctors recommend using both of these remedies during treatment. Here are some recipes that can help you get rid of the first symptoms of thrush. First recipe: you need to take equal parts of birch buds, juniper, yarrow, sage and chamomile. All this needs to be brewed with boiling water and let it brew well for about two hours. This is a very good remedy that can be used both internally and for external douching. Second recipe: Brew equal parts of wormwood and calendula. Take one tablespoon three times a day. The decoction helps restore the protective properties of the entire body. To get rid of itching, you can add a little soda to the water when washing. It will reduce the activity of bacteria and block their reproduction. But this remedy is not very effective and does not work for long. It is better to use it only when you are suffering from severe itching. Also, during treatment, you need to monitor your diet, eat properly and at the right time.
