Most women
have firsthand experience in dealing with Candida infections, and especially vaginal
candidiasis. About eighty percent of the total female population has experienced
characteristic signs and symptoms of this uncomfortable condition at least once
in their life. Many women suffer from recurrent vaginal candidiasis episodes,
and some patients live with this problem their whole life. In this case it is a
case of chronic vaginal candidiasis. Thus, we can see that the yeast infection,
though well known to doctors, still remains a burning health problem on the
global scale.
Solving the
problem of lowering the candida infections incidence rate is hampered by the
fact that the pathology agent «resides» in a woman's body her whole life, as a part
of the vaginal microflora. Candida is a genus of yeast like fungi that are
commonly part of the normal flora of the mouth, skin, intestinal tract, and
vagina. It is a necessary yeast that is a part of the human intestinal system.
The problems arise when Candida becomes out of balance and overgrows. There are
numerous different strains of flora present within the digestive system, one of
the most important bacteria that supports digestive health is Lactobacillus
Acidophilus. If the acidophilus are
killed off by excess stress, antibiotics, tetracyclines or cortisteroids, the
candida has an opportunity to overgrow. That
is why the presence of yeast is not manifested when you have good immunity,
normal hormone levels and no emotional stress. In addition, to keep the yeast growth
under control women are advised to take lactic acid bacteria, which owing to their
enzymatic activity create a hostile environment for yeast and prevent their overgrowth.
If the immune system is weakened or the normal microbial balance in the vaginal
environment is upset which may be due to the uncontrolled antibiotics or
hormone intake, favorable conditions for the development of vaginal candidiasis
are formed.
Vaginal
candidiasis creates a lot of inconvenience for women in their everyday life.
Symptoms such as itching and burning in the genital area, swelling, pain during
urination and sexual intercourse, white, cheesy vaginal discharge radically
reduce the quality of life, leading to a discomfort, increased irritability,
depression, and hostile attitude towards sex which is often the cause of family
problems. Modern methods of treatment make it possible to quickly solve the
problem and restore a woman well-being and bring joy back to her life. Mycosist
is one of the most effective anti-candidiasis drugs, it's fluconazole-based.
Unlike topical antifungal (vaginal plugs, suppositories, etc.) treatments,
which many women find uncomfortable to use, Mycosist is taken orally and works
when absorbed into bloodstream. Mycosist should only be taken once a day, for a
few days. The preparation has no contraindications (except for the allergies to
its components) and reduces the likelihood of infection recurrence to a
minimum. However, the treatment regimen and the dosage should be prescribed by
a doctor depending on the type and course of the condition.
Syclovir is
a marine food grade silica product that may absorb up to 1,000 times its weight
in bacteria, parasites, viruses and toxins.
If you want a good cleanse that not only absorbs Candida but also any
parasites you may be harboring, this may be the product for you.
In terms of
prescription medication options, Diflucan is a commonly used antifungal medical
treatment for yeast infections. While this is a Candida treatment option that
works for many people, many people can have side effects as a result of using
the drug. Nausea and headaches are common side effects. Those with recurring
problems with candida can also find that Diflucan can become ineffective for
them. Taking drugs too often can not only result in their losing effect but in
being harmful on vital organs such as the liver.
Moreover, progress
in the medical technology made it possible to look at topical preparations differently.
Ginofort cream is one of such topical preparations. Owing to its oil base, the
cream has a high ability to «stick» to the vaginal walls and slowly releases
the effective drug component. This medication remains safely sealed inside, it
does not ooze and contaminate the underwear which is important. A single
application of cream ensures continuous mycocidal (yeast-destroying) and
mycostatic (inhibiting the reproduction of fungi) effect, lasting more than
four days, which guarantees full recovery, usually after the first application.
Those looking at potential Candida treatment options should know that there are
traditional medical approaches as well as holistic approaches. What's right for
you can depend on a lot of factors but many people believe that going holistic
as much as possible is the best way to manage problems with Candida infections.
