Candida treatment: how to relieve symptoms and prevent recurrence<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Candida is one of the most common vaginal infections out there. Despite this, finding a candida treatment without side effects that prevents recurrence is easier said than done. Many women with candida (also called thrush or simply a vaginal yeast infection) struggle to get rid of it once and for all. Read on to find out how you can recognize, treat and prevent candida.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Candida symptoms<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While candida isn\u2019t life-threatening, its symptoms can be very disruptive to your daily life and you will want to find relief as soon as possible. Candida symptoms may include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Itching and irritation of the vagina and the tissues at the vaginal opening (vulva)<\/li>
  • Thick, white discharge (often compared to cottage cheese)<\/li>
  • Redness and soreness in your intimate area<\/li>
  • A burning sensation, especially during intercourse or while urinating<\/li>
  • Vaginal pain and soreness<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Some of these symptoms aren\u2019t unique to problems with vaginal yeast. They could also indicate a case of bacterial vaginosis (BV), which has a different treatment than candida. The symptoms could also be masking an underlying sexually transmitted disease (STD). That\u2019s why it\u2019s essential that you consult your doctor or gynecologist before you start treating candida. Doing so will help you inadvertently creating more problems for yourself (and possibly even your partner) down the line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    What is candida and why is it different from bacterial vaginosis (BV) and sexually transmitted disease (STDs)?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Candida is caused by an imbalance in the vaginal flora. Specifically by the Candida albicans yeast running rampant, which is why you know it as \u2018candida.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Candida albicans feeds on the sugar present in the cells of your vaginal walls. If there\u2019s more sugar than usual present the yeast can grow rapidly, disrupting your vagina\u2019s natural balance. Causes for this include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    • Being in the second half of your menstrual cycle<\/li>
    • Pregnancy,<\/li>
    • Using birth control pills<\/li>
    • Eating a lot of sugar and dairy products<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      For many women, Candida albicans yeast is always present in the vagina, and is part of good vaginal health. However, you do want to prevent it from overwhelming the rest of your vaginal flora.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Bacterial vaginosis is also caused by a vaginal imbalance, but BV occurs when the good bacteria in your vagina (lactobacilli) are overwhelmed by other bacteria. It\u2019s not currently known what triggers these imbalances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Finally, STDs have a variety of causes, such as bacteria, viruses and even parasites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      With such different causes, it\u2019s vital that you know what is affecting your vaginal health before embarking on a course of treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Can I treat candida myself?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      In a nutshell: yes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Once you\u2019re certain that you are dealing with a vaginal yeast infection, you have plenty of over-the-counter options to choose from. And we really do mean plenty:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      • Vaginal antimycotic creams\/tablets<\/li>
      • Oral antimycotic therapy<\/li>
      • Probiotics<\/li>
      • Prebiotics<\/li>
      • And the list goes on<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        There are also products that can help relieve the symptoms of candida. These sprays, creams and gels can help minimize the discomforts caused by a yeast infection, but don\u2019t actually fix the root cause. These symptom relief products can be used in combination with the primary treatment so that you can quickly get back to you daily routine. If your symptoms don\u2019t improve over time, it\u2019s best to consult your doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Doctors often prescribe antimycotics to treat vaginal yeast infections. While antimycotics are effective, they can cause unpleasant side effects. Common side effects include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        • Abdominal pain<\/li>
        • Burning and itching<\/li>
        • Diarrhoea<\/li>
        • Feeling sick<\/li>
        • Rashes<\/li>
        • Redness<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          If you\u2019re one of the 15% of women whose candida returns 4 or more times within a year, you might want to look for a different candida treatment. After all, you want to get back to normal as quickly as possible. The last thing you need is more discomforts to deal with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Treat candida, relieve symptoms and prevent recurrence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

          If you aren\u2019t interested in taking an array of different products to help you deal with candida, you might want to consider Multi-Gyn FloraPlus \u2014 especially if you find yourself facing a recurring yeast infection. Here\u2019s why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
