Principles of treatment of thrush at home

With thrush sooner or later faces every woman. Treating it is very important and necessary. Also, what thrush manifests unpleasant symptoms, it can also lead to complications of pregnancy, in the process involve other organs or become chronic, when to get rid of it even harder. Of course, thrush you will not put in the hospital, and have to be treated at home, but only on a doctor's prescription and supervision.

Thrush, or genital candidiasis (vulvovaginal candidiasis) is caused by yeast fungi of the genus Candida and is characterized by itching and burning of the external genitalia, cheesy discharge and breach of general psychosomatic condition (depression, insomnia, irritability).

Principles of treatment of thrush include three components:

• elimination of the pathogen;
• restoration of immunity;
• preventing the return of the disease.

The elimination of the pathogen

To eliminate fungi used antimicrobial and antifungal agents in mouth (tablets and capsules) and locally (in the form of suppositories, ointments, and creams). Previously widely used antifungal agents such as Nystatin and levorin. However, due to the rather prolonged use of these drugs, fungi have developed a "immunity" to them and so today its effectiveness is low, that does not justify their appointment.

Today, we developed more effective medications that your physician will select depending on the state and finance. Diflucan - good antifungal antibiotic, the dignity which is once it is applied (150 mg - 1 tablet inside), and in case of recurrence of the reappointment of Diflucan seven days. Equally effective means - orungal, receiving it simple. That is, one tablet twice a day (orally) for three consecutive days. It is recommended to combine systemic (oral) treatment with a local (the effect is more pronounced). For this purpose, vaginal tablets or suppositories, for example, Terzhinan (one tablet inserted into the vagina for ten days), Gyno-Pevaril - spark 150 mg, which is administered by a single intravaginal within three days or Pimafucin, which is used in the form of vaginal tablets twice a day for ten days.

For topical treatments are used as ointments and creams to be applied to the gauze sponges and administered into the vagina. The most popular drug is klotrimazolovaya ointment. The disadvantages of ointments and creams is their ability to pollute underwear and additional use of tampons.

Immune reconstitution

To restore the immune system along with anti-fungal drugs are used and multivitamin preparations, normalizing the microflora of the vagina (laktobakterin, bifidumbakterin, apilak). They are appointed after clinical cure to stimulate growth in its own microflora of the vagina and the suppression of pathogenic microflora. Also to be sought and, if possible, eliminate the causes immunodeficiency (treatment of chronic diseases, changing the method of contraception, etc.).

Traditional methods of treatment of thrush

Along with the traditional methods of treatment of thrush can be used folk remedies, which are mainly used for douching:

• hlorofillipt, rozanol, calendula tincture, tincture of birch buds and kidney poplar (20-30 drops of tincture diluted in half a liter of boiled water and the resulting solution douche 2-3 times a day);
• tincture of onions or garlic, which contain volatile, which suppress the growth of fungi (one bulb at night drop into a glass of water and the resulting infusion douche);
• mucosal lesions of the vagina can be lubricated with honey The benefits of honey: tasty recovery Diluted with boiled water in a ratio of 1:10 two times per day;
• decoction of chamomile and calendula (take 1 tablespoon of chamomile and 2 tablespoons of marigold, pour one liter of boiling water, leave for 12 hours, then strain and the resulting solution douche);
• herbal mixture (mix one tablespoon of oak bark, chamomile Chamomile: the rays of beauty   pharmacy, sage leaves Sage - useful properties do not count   and three tablespoons of nettles, pour one liter of boiling water, leave for 12 hours, then strain and use for douching).
