7 main causes of thrush in women

1. The first and one of the most important causes of thrush is the decrease in the immunity of a woman , that is, a decrease in the protective function of the female body. In our body, the fungus of the genus Candida, "lives" constantly, but with a decrease in immunity, the female body refuses to control the development and reproduction of the fungus, and in this case it affects the mucous membranes and causes their inflammation.

2. The second cause of candidiasis is the use of antibiotics. Everyone knows that an antibiotic destroys not only harmful, but also beneficial bacteria in the human body. In this case, the lactobacilli of the mucosa, which control the growth of fungal microorganisms, are destroyed, when taking antibiotics. And this contributes to the growth of the fungus, since there is no protective barrier. Mushrooms at the same time reproduce very well, because they are not sensitive to the effects of antibiotics.

3. Also associated with the emergence of thrush can lead and accompanying diseases :

blood diseases;

diabetes;

HIV or AIDS;

intestinal dysbiosis;

tuberculosis, and many others.

4. Incorrect power supply. Very important role is played by your food, if you constantly eat in fast foods, there is a lot of sweet, and also yeast products - then thrush can appear even in a healthy person. Modern girls and women love to get involved in diets, which leads to a shortage of vitamin, and most importantly protein, which is an active participant in the construction of the mucous membrane.

5. One of the main reasons is the incorrect own intimate hygiene .Namely:

abuse of such products as soap, gels, sprays, creams and other means for intimate hygiene, with excessive use, the normal environment of the vaginal mucosa is washed away and becomes a haven for the propagation of microorganisms such as fungus.

daily hygienic pads and for critical days, it is best to use without flavors, and change them as often as possible, but at least three times a day.

toilet paper, is also best used without flavoring and not colored, as this can lead to inflammation of the mucosa.

6. Notice what kind of clothes you are wearing. It is necessary to forget about synthetic and narrow underwear, it can change the acidity in the vagina, and this is a good environment for the development of bacteria. It is best to choose cotton underwear, and at the same time it should be comfortable for everyday wear.

7. Candidiasis provocators may also be contraceptives :

hormonal contraceptives make the vaginal environment alkaline;

some contraceptives also affect such lactobacillus mucosa that are beneficial to the body;

if you use the intrauterine device for a long time, this is another reason that can lead to the development of a fungal infection.

Summing up, it can be said that the sexually transmitted thrush is transmitted in the last place( that is, not always), because before there are many other reasons that should not be forgotten. Be healthy, dear readers!
