Quick tips to prevent thrush

Women get lot of problems and they do big mistake when they hide their common diseases. Similarly thrush is very common infection in vagina.Vaginal thrush is a common infection caused by an overgrowth of Candida albicans yeast. This
yeast lives naturally in the bowel and in small numbers in the vagina. It is mostly harmless, but symptoms can develop if yeast numbers increase. About 75 per cent of women will have vaginal thrush in their lifetime. Other names for this infection are candidiasis or monilia. (see what is CANDIDA INFECTION)

Symptoms can include vaginal itching or burning, a white discharge and stinging or burning whileurinating. Vaginal creams or vaginal tablets (pessaries) can help reduce the symptoms of thrush.Thrush can also occur in other parts of the body, such as the mouth.

Prevent vaginal thrush:
  1. Wipe your bottom from front to back after going to the toilet. This will prevent the spread
  2. of Candida albicans from the anus to the vagina.
  3. Avoid using soap to wash the genital area. Soap substitutes can be used. Sorbolene (with
  4. or without glycerine) is probably the cheapest and is very effective. When using sorbolene:
  5. Avoid perfumed products.
  6. Be aware that products containing 10 per cent glycerine can occasionally cause
  7. stinging.
  8. Apply before the area is wetted and rinse off lightly. A slight greasy film should
  9. remain.
  10. Avoid using antiseptics, douches or perfumed sprays in the genital area.
  11. Avoid using perfumed toilet papers and menstrual products.
  12. Avoid wearing tight-fitting pants and synthetic underwear.
  13. Consider changing your clothes-washing detergent and don’t use fabric softeners. 
If you still can prevent thrush then you should consult with your doctor without any hesitation. Remember eating and disease there should not be any shyness..
