Almost all the women meet with the problem that is called thrush. This disease, which give negligible value to its origin, requires long-term treatment. The failure to comply with certain recommendations will lead to the fact that the problem will appear again. To eliminate the need for repeated administration of drugs should be deal with what is thrush in women causes treatment.

What is a yeast infection?

Talking about thrush it should be noted that this is a disease of the vagina, which in medicine is also called candidiasis. More common the name appeared due to the fact that women on the genitals, you receive a selection that resembles milk. This moment defined the appearance of the name "thrush".

Such a disease may occur because of the emergence of the fungus Candida albicans. According to studies, this fungus is included in the natural microflora of humans, 80% of women around the world, it does not cause any problems. The vagina even if hygiene is not sterile, that is, on the surface of the genitals there are certain microorganisms. All microorganisms microflora participate in maintaining normal pH of the vagina.

Own flora of the vagina creates the most favorable conditions for fertilization, and fights other undesirable microorganisms. Established microflora determines that the body is fighting other infectious diseases. The immune system is fighting not only with the emergence of other infections and the spread of its own. If for some reason the immune system was weakened, and he can't control the process of creating their own microorganisms, developing considered disease.

The cause of the problem

Causes of yeast infection can be associated with various problems. Because the immune system is influenced by a lot of factors. The most common causes of vaginal yeast infection include:

1. Fungi can also cause disease in question and the applicable antibiotics do not have the desired effect, as the fungi have a slightly different structure than viruses. Wrong treatment leads to the fact that the fungi cause of thrush.
2. A great number of antibiotics that are not prescribed by a doctor. Many viral diseases can be treated with antibiotics. To unsubscribe from this group of drugs is impossible, as they are most effective. Many diseases that arise as a result of infection without timely treatment, can give complication. Drugs that belong to the group of antibiotics have a complex effect on the body, that is, a drug affects the whole microflora women.

   

3. Depression of immunity. This mechanism of the body responsible for overseeing the creation of microorganisms that in high concentrations can lead to thrush. You should consider the point that women who suffer from AIDS often suffer from thrush. AIDS is almost completely affects the immune system. The candidiasis develops not only on the genitals, but also, for example, in the oral cavity or intestine. Full or partial defeat of the immune system leads not only to the rapid development of the problem, but to a complication of treatment. Chronic disease greatly undermines the immune system, which also complicates the treatment and increases the necessary time to fully cure.
4. Also do not forget that the metabolic disorders leads to a weakening of the immune system and the appearance of thrush. The entire diet should be chosen carefully. The present study shows that increasing sugar in the blood leads to metabolic disorders. Diabetes becomes leads to an imbalance in the body. It should be remembered that all influence the correctness of metabolism.
5. An unbalanced or poor diet in many cases is the cause of thrush. All the products in the daily meals must have the right amount of fats, proteins and carbohydrates depending on the mass. Many women use quite a lot of sweet and flour products, which violate the pancreas. You should consider the point that a large number of sweets in the diet not only leads to the emergence of thrush, butof diabetes of the second type.
6. Hormonal disturbance. You should consider the point that certain changes in the body can lead to a significant hormonal changes. For example, during pregnancy there is a significant hormonal changes, thereby developing a yeast infection. Also to aggravate the problem and contraceptives, which are used large quantities.
7. Almost all diseases of the endocrine system lead to the development of thrush. Doctors with extensive experience in diagnosis know that in case of violation of the endocrine system there is the chance of developing thrush.
8. Wearing low-quality underwear, which is made of synthetic materials, determines the creation of conditions for reproduction of the fungus. Synthetics leads to the fact that linen is moisture and heat – conditions under which the reproduction of various pathogenic infections.

The above points define what everything that happens in the body can lead to the problem associated with the emergence of a large number of microorganisms.

Signs of the appearance of considered diseases

Consider the time that signs of yeast infection appear quite clearly – this simplifies the process of diagnosis. In many cases, women themselves before visiting the doctor diagnose a yeast infection, but only after collection of anamnesis it is possible to prescribe the right treatment. This is due to the fact that all the causes of disease know that only highly qualified professionals.

Symptoms for thrush appear as follows:

1. The selection of the external genital organs. This problem is more evident on the black linen. The allocation is represented by the mucus with lots of lumps, which are white. Symptoms with a yeast infection can manifest itself in different ways, but this symptom indicates the disease.

   

2. Pain and burning may occur during sexual intercourse. Many doctors recommend to refuse from intimacy at the time of inflammation, as otherwise the yeast infection treatment may last several months.
3. Burning and itching in the vagina also indicate a problem that may be associated with thrush. Note that not comb the area where there is discomfort. This is due to the fact that the skin lesions there is a possibility of penetration of the pathogen into the very depths of tissue. This phenomenon significantly complicates the treatment. Brushing also spreads the pathogen over a greater area of the skin.
4. Unpleasant sensations and pain during urination. The manifestation of this symptomatology is primarily associated with a decrease in the protective properties of the mucous membrane of the urethra and vagina. The epithelium is very susceptible to the effects of various stimuli, especially to natural aggressive fluids – urine. Its getting to the surface leads to increased receptor sensitivity, and as a result start pain.
5. Special attention should be paid to ensuring there is the smell of Some of the symptoms for thrush are erased the character, that is, may indicate the appearance and other problems. It was the smell with a sour tinge may indicate that it is necessary to carry out the treatment of thrush. With a strong manifestation of symptoms like the smell quite simply will catch.

You should consider the point that diagnosis is not necessarily a combination of all the symptoms. In case of atypical course of disease is the probability of occurrence of only one of all of the symptoms. To know in time about the appearance of the disease is difficult, often impossible without assistance from a specialist. The results of the research indicate that candidiasis is accompanied by a latent infection that can be transmitted sexually. In many cases, self-diagnosis is wrong, treatment is ineffective.

What are the first signs?

Only with timely detection of problems is possible to carry out an effective treatment. The first symptoms for thrush are as follows:

1. Heavy vaginal discharge mainly white in color.
2. The occurrence of pain during intercourse or urination.
3. Sharp burning or pain.

The symptoms usually appear a week before menstruation. A strong sense of stinging or itching appear with a significant increase in temperature, for example, due to the adoption of the bathroom. Only with the appearance of white discharge, many women decide to go to Dr for treatment. All pain can manifest itself in different ways, as a rule, it all depends on the immune system of women.

What can be complications?

If time is not an effective treatment there is a possibility of complications, which occur in the following instances:

1. The occurrence of adhesions of the pelvic organs.
2. The syndrome, which determines the obstruction of the fallopian tubes.
3. Infertility due to destruction of the ovaries and because of the blockage of pipes.
4. A significant reduction in the body's resistance to the effects of viruses and microorganisms.
5. If duringof the disease the woman is pregnant, that is, the probability of infection of the fetus.
6. The transition of the inflammatory process on other pelvic organs.
7. The occurrence of sepsis due to penetration of the pathogen into blood.

These complications determine what yeast infection treatment should be carried out in time. If you start the process, that is, the probability of occurrence of various pathologies.

Harmful if a yeast infection for men?

Quite important question is whether the harmful yeast infection for men. Note that the male body is facing the same fungi that female. A fungus that becomes a pathogen of the disease is considered present in a woman's body, creating a natural microflora. So men are constantly in contact with the pathogen.

Considering the symptoms and treatment should take into account the time that the substantial decline in immunity is the probability of infection and men. Also during unprotected sexual intercourse a man can transmit the pathogen to a woman.

However, the special problems of men does not arise. This is because the removal of pathogens is enough to observe elementary rules of personal hygiene.

Spend treatment

Treatment of thrush can pass effectively with timely intake of medicines. This may be tablets, suppositories or ointment.

Most commonly used the following drugs:

1. Miconazole.
2. Natamycin.
3. Clotrimazolum.
4. The isoconazole.

These drugs are used worldwide for the treatment of advanced disease in question. There are a lot of different analogues, which also can be used to solve the problem. It is quite important to begin treatment using antifungal drugs only as medicinal products the total impact can trigger other infections.

In conclusion, we note that, as in many other infectious or fungal diseases, it is important enough to seek help. The more the disease develops in the body, the harder it is to treat. Complications can become chronic diseases, the symptoms of which will manifest in the next year.
