The Candida Diet: Top Five Foods to Eat and to Avoid: A Path to Natural Health: Naturopathic Doctors

So far in this series, we have looked at the causes and symptoms of Candida overgrowth (or yeast infection). If you missed any of the previous articles, or want to remind yourself, you can read the following to catch up:

• Part 1: Candida – The Most Misunderstood Chronic Health Problem
• Part 2: Is Your Sugar Addiction Feeding Your Intestinal Candida?
• Part 3: Is Candida Overgrowth Causing Your Chronic Gas & Bloating?
• Part 4: Rashes and Candida – The Connection between Skin and Gut
• Part 5: Is Candida Making You Fat?

In this sixth and final article, we will look at what you can and can’t eat when you are tackling Candida overgrowth. I will tell you the most common foods that feed and contribute to the symptoms of Candida and the best foods you can eat to help suppress and control it.

As we have seen throughout this series, Candida is a simple organism that doesn’t need much to thrive. The damp, warm environment of our digestive system, a reduction in healthy bacteria (usually caused by taking antibiotics), and lots of sugar is all Candida needs to flourish, grow and take hold in your gut, causing any number of unpleasant symptoms such as digestive symptoms, emotional problems, skin, weight issues, muscle, and joint pain, food allergies, itching and frequent infections to name just a few. These symptoms, alone and in combination all contribute to making you feel seriously under par. However, a few simple changes to your diet can help alleviate all of them. Isn’t that great news?

If you have or suspect you may have, Candida there are steps you can take to help minimize its growth Candida- starting with your diet. Here is a list of foods that I have found in my Naturopathic practice to be most aggravating to people with Candida overgrowth.

Top Five Foods to Avoid

1. Sugar

Any form of processed sugar including white or brown sugar derived from the cane sugar plant and any simple sweetener derived from maple syrup, honey, agave, brown rice syrup or malt. You also need to take great care to avoid high fructose corn syrup – this processed form of sugar, derived from the corn plant, is especially problematic for yeast overgrowth and should be eliminated. Read labels, you may be surprised to find all the hidden sources of sugar that you may be consuming. Packaged soups, coffee creamers, packaged seasonings are all potential sources.

2. Simple Carbohydrates

Processed carbohydrates such as white flours, white rice contain no fiber and turn into simple sugars in the digestive system. Foods in this category include crackers, chips, pasta, and noodles.

3. Yeast

Candida is a yeast and, when you consume foods that contain yeast, you are adding more yeast to an already yeast-heavy environment. High yeast foods include:

*Alcohol which is fermented using yeast. Wine and Beer contain the most yeast and people who are yeast sensitive tend to react more to them than they do to distilled spirits like vodka, gin & tequila which contain less.
*Fermented products, including all types of vinegar, soy sauce, tamari, salad dressing, mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard and most other condiments that include vinegars.
*Many breads contain yeast – it is what makes the bread rise so that it is fluffy and light. Sourdough bread gets mixed reviews on being allowed on a Candida diet. Sourdough is made with a starter so there is no active yeast added to the mix. However, the starter comes from naturally occurring yeast spores that float around in the environment. For this reason, I recommend avoiding sourdough when doing a Candida cleanse. Tortillas do not contain yeast and can be used to replace bread.

4. Mold

Foods that are high in mold can add to the fungal spores in the intestinal tract that contribute to the growth of Candida. Foods that may have mold on them include:

*Meats that are pickled, smoked or dried such as hotdogs, smoked salmon and cured pork bacon.
*Cheese, especially ‘moldy cheese’ such as brie and camembert. I recommend avoiding all cheeses during the Candida cleanse.
*Peanuts & Pistachios
*Dried fruits and fruit that has been bottled, canned or jarred. These belong in the sugar category as well as the mold category as they contain both concentrated sugar and often mold spores on the skin as well.

5. Mushrooms

Mushrooms are a fungus and, as such, can also contribute to yeast overgrowth. Mushrooms have a role to play in medicine and some species can boost the immune system. However, for the purpose of treating Candida, any foods that have a fungal component to them are best avoided to minimize yeast growth in the intestines.

The Five Best Foods to Eat to Eliminate Candida

The best diet to keep Candida overgrowth to a minimum is one that is high in healthy protein, fats, and complex carbohydrates. Here are my top five food groups for beating Candida:

1. Protein

Protein from animal sources such as chicken, fish, shellfish, eggs
Protein from non-animal sources such as beans, legumes (such as red or brown lentils), nuts, and seeds (except peanuts and pistachios)

2. Fresh Vegetables

Especially dark leafy greens such as spinach, cabbage, kale and collards. Root vegetables such as carrots and potatoes can be eaten in moderation but beware as they contain carbohydrates that will turn to sugar once eaten. Frozen, canned or jarred vegetables can be eaten but should be consumed in moderation – in general fresh is always best.

3. Fresh Fruits

1-2 servings of fresh fruit per day will provide good fiber, vitamins and minerals. However, if you notice symptoms of gas, bloating and brain fog after eating fruit you may be sensitive to it and should eliminate it from your diet as well.

4. Complex Carbohydrates

Some people can handle having whole grains in their diet. If you find you get gas, bloating, stomach pain, blood sugar crashes or weight concerns after eating whole grains then you will need to avoid them. Otherwise, you may be able to consume grains such as:

*Oats
*Barley
*Kamut
*Brown or wild rice
*Millet
*Teff
*Buckwheat
*Quinoa

5. High Quality Oils (Good Fats)

All our cells have an outer layer of fat that makes up the cell membrane. When we eat high-quality oils this membrane are healthier and work optimally. When our cell membranes are working properly then we are healthier and have more energy. Unrefined and cold-pressed oils are the best when available. Good fats include (but are not limited to):

• Coconut oil
• Olive oil (avoid olives themselves as they are pickled in a brine so fall under the fermented foods category and should be avoided)
• Avocados & avocado oil
• Sunflower oil
• Safflower oil
• Fish Oil
• Flax seed oil
• Chia Seed

In addition to eating the right foods it is important to stay well hydrated. Drinking 1-2 liters of water a day will contribute to a healthy digestive system and help minimize yeast overgrowth.

Closing Thoughts

Candida overgrowth can be the hidden culprit in many chronic health concerns.   It can build up over a long period of time and symptoms may not be obvious at first. It has been my experience that most people, at some point in their life, do well to do a Candida cleanse and eliminate sugar- and yeast-promoting foods from their diet for a certain period of time. Cleaning up ones diet, adding high quality probiotics and reducing sugar will always help to put people on the path to good health.

Is Candida Making You Fat?

Naturopathic Doctor, Maura Scanlan explains how Candida can cause weight gain that doesn’t respond to normal weight-loss programs: she suggests a diet that works.

Preventing Vaginal Yeast Infections

What Causes Recurrent Yeast Infections?

While it’s not entirely clear what causes some women to get recurring yeast infections, there are a number of risk factors that can predispose you to it.

These risk factors for developing yeast factors include:

• Things that alter your normal hormone balance, including pregnancy, birth control pills, and estrogen therapy
• Frequent antibiotic use, which kills the beneficial bacteria that normally keep Candida’s population under control
• Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, which can cause a spike in sugar in the membrane of the vagina (sugar encourages the growth of yeast)
• Conditions that affect your immune system, particularly HIV
• Obesity, which provides more areas of moisture and warmth (such as skin folds) in which Candida can grow
• Clothing that is tight-fitting and synthetic, keeping the vaginal area moist and warm
• Having an anatomy with short distance between the vagina and anus, where microorganisms frequently live (3,4,5)

One study found that a localized immune defect in the vagina might be behind many women’s recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis.

In some cases, this may be the result of an allergic reaction to Candida after the initial yeast infection. (6)

Recurring yeast infections may also be the result of an intestinal or vaginal reservoir of Candida. About 20 percent of women (and 30 percent of pregnant women) are colonized by Candida — this colonization doesn’t cause symptoms until the balance of microbial communities is altered by antibiotic use, hormonal changes, and other factors. (7)

Sex can also be a risk factor for chronic yeast infections due to spermicidal condoms (which cause vaginal irritation that makes the vagina more prone to infections), C. albicans in the mouth (passed on via oral sex), and glycerin-based lubricants.

How Clothing Can Affect Yeast Infections

Cotton and silk underwear absorb moisture, keeping you dry.

On the other hand, nylon and other synthetic fabrics hold moisture close to your skin, encouraging the growth of yeast. Synthetic underwear may also cause allergy and hypersensitivity reactions that can alter the vaginal environment and contribute to yeast infections.

What’s more, sitting around in sweaty gym clothes or a wet bathing suit provides an environment in which yeast can thrive. Always change into dry clothes as soon as possible.

Pantyhose, tights, and leggings can cause heat and moisture to build up in the crotch area.

If you do wear pantyhose, be sure to wear cotton panties underneath, and choose pantyhose with a cotton crotch.

Avoid snug-fitting pajamas — a loose, flowing nightgown is preferable. And going without underwear while you sleep will help keep your genital area dry and discourage yeast growth.

Keeping the vagina clean will not only keep you smelling fresh, it can also help prevent yeast infections.

When bathing, be sure to clean the inside folds of the vagina where yeast is likely to grow.

Because yeast thrives in moist environments, it’s important to dry the entire vaginal area after taking a shower or bath. (8)

Certain Products, Antibiotics, and Conditions Are Linked to Yeast Infections

Perfumes can be irritating to the sensitive area inside the vagina, and that can increase your risk of getting a yeast infection.

Also, avoid scented sanitary pads and tampons and colored or printed toilet paper — dyes can also be irritating.

Douching destroys not only harmful bacteria but also the helpful bacteria that keep yeast under control.

Douche products also wash away the natural protective lining of the vagina, leaving you more susceptible to yeast and other vaginal infections, while also introducing substances that may cause allergic reactions and alter the pH balance (acidity) of the vagina.

Antibiotic use has been linked to the onset of yeast infections because these drugs can kill beneficial bacteria in the body, making it easier for Candida yeast to proliferate. Take antibiotics only as directed and avoid unnecessary antibiotic use.

Finally, a healthy immune system helps keep yeast under control.

Try keeping a regular sleep schedule and avoiding exercise, caffeine, and heavy meals within three hours of bedtime. Consider stress-reduction techniques, such as meditation, yoga, and regular exercise, to keep down high levels of stress, which can compromise your immune system.

Immune-depressing diseases like diabetes and HIV can also increase the risk of yeast infections.

Additionally, if you have diabetes, it’s important to keep your blood sugar levels under control to prevent yeast infections. Sugar is a prime food source for yeast. (1,8)

Changing Your Diet May Help Prevent Yeast Infections

There’s some evidence that sugar may help promote the growth of yeast.

Yeast’s affinity for sweets has prompted some experts to suggest that diet may be a risk factor for some women when it comes to developing yeast infections.

In fact, some people follow a so-called yeast infection diet, or candida diet, on the theory that eliminating certain foods may eliminate or at least greatly reduce the risk of yeast overgrowth.

Proponents of these regimens claim that a yeast infection diet can help to cure or prevent yeast infections by eliminating:

• Foods containing simple sugars, including many fruits
• White flour and other glutenous grains
• Anything fermented with yeast, such as alcoholic drinks
• Some dairy products, including whole milk

The diet recommends sticking to foods like green vegetables, protein (from wild-caught fish, eggs, beans, grass-fed beef, and chicken), nuts, and herbal tea. (10,11)

While anecdotal evidence abounds, the candida diet is not (yet) supported by rigorous scientific research.

Probiotics Are Likely Helpful in Fighting Yeast Infections

The candida diet also recommends ingesting probiotics or yogurt containing live cultures of the popular “friendly” bacteria, Lactobacillus acidophilus.

Probiotics are also a popular choice for curing or preventing yeast infections with natural products or home remedies (as opposed to conventional means).

The idea is that, normally, certain bacteria live in the digestive tract, on the skin, and elsewhere on the body where they help with digestion and other bodily functions. Therefore, probiotics can help restore the body’s normal bacterial balance, preventing Candida yeast from growing out of control and causing an infection.

While trying probiotics poses little harm, strong scientific evidence supporting the use of probiotics for yeast infections is lacking.

A 2017 review found mostly low-quality evidence showing that probiotics can help with yeast infections. (12)

Let’s deal with thrush without medicinal methods

In the press, on television, in outdoor advertising, advertising of various drugs against an unpleasant fungal disease – thrush quite often slips through. However, the expectant or nursing mother is afraid to take medications, although it is “in position” and after childbirth that the thrush attacks the female body especially aggressively. Are there other ways to deal with this disease?

Where do mushrooms come from?

Thrush is a fungal disease caused by the fact that candida fungi begin to multiply actively on the mucous membranes of a person. If a person is completely healthy, the presence of these fungi in the body does not cause concern – the immune system keeps them in check. However, during pregnancy, a heavy burden falls on the body, and the immune response can fail. This may be due to both hormonal processes and the fact that the immune system is weakened by the fight against a viral infection.

Symptoms of thrush are known to many: cheesy discharge, sometimes very abundant, which is often accompanied by itching and burning in the perineum. (It happens that fungi also affect other organs, such as the oral mucosa, and then you have to deal with the symptoms of stomatitis).

In addition to diseases and specific hormonal disorders of pregnant and lactating women, which are difficult to influence without the help of a doctor, the reasons for the increased growth of fungal colonies in the body can be ignorance, our bad habits, and sometimes even simple laziness. The first reason on this list is ill-conceived nutrition. Fungi have a “lip is not a fool” – most of all they love flour and sweets. That is, the features of immunity, metabolism and the functioning of the excretory system of a person who eats unhealthy food work for the fungus.

The second reason is lack of personal hygiene. The fungus loves moisture very much, and we often help it with this. How? Very simple! Beautiful synthetic underwear does not remove sweat from the body, does not allow secretions to dry quickly – and in such a “greenhouse” fungi multiply quickly. Disposable “everyday” pads, which we wear, embarrassed by secretions and their smell, also interfere with air circulation and increase humidity. Particularly harmful are the air-tight pads that women use during critical days or with lochia after childbirth. After all, most of the pads that are actively advertised now do not “leave the skin dry and clean” at all, but turn the liquid into a gel and help fungi multiply and multiply.

The third reason is the notorious “chemistry”, all kinds of fragrances, detergents and preservatives. For example, the same pads quite often contain harmful substances with which the manufacturer flavored the pad. No less harmful to a weak mucosa can be panties that are poorly rinsed or washed with an inappropriate powder for you.

The fourth reason is the stagnation of blood in the small pelvis. A sedentary lifestyle, restrictions on sexual life and active movements that pregnancy and childbirth impose on a woman – all this leads to congestion in organs and tissues. And where the blood supply worsens, fungi live better there.

Is thrush dangerous?

Unfortunately, yes. Chronic thrush can conquer more and more expanses of your body and harm many organs, complicate breastfeeding, and the baby can become infected with it while passing through the birth canal.

How to be?

How to be, if it is impossible to put up with thrush, and one does not raise one’s hand to “poison” oneself with potent medicines? It is best to spend energy on the prevention and treatment of thrush in the early stages, in order to prevent a severe form when you can’t think of anything else.

Purchase cotton underwear (preferably white), wash it to get rid of the “chemistry” that inevitably resides in the fabric and wear without pads unless critical days require it. If necessary, change the linen more than once a day, wash it in a machine with a boiling mode and a minimum of detergent – it is best to use special eco-powders and gels or children’s washing powder. In the rinse cycle, run the machine twice. At home, if possible, go without underwear in a skirt or bathrobe, for better air circulation.

Use cellulose pads on critical days. There are cheap domestic ones, there are more expensive imported ones. The main thing is to change them as often as possible. Adjust your nutrition. Minimize “empty” carbohydrates, foods that contain a lot of sugar, yeast, or ferment when cooked (beer, wine, muffins, desserts, etc.). Beware of old cheese, raw mushrooms, chocolate, dried fruits, honey, nut pastes, pickles and marinades, potatoes, soy sauce, vinegar. Reduce milk intake – leave only low-fat fermented milk products.

Drink green tea 3-4 times a day – this can help cleanse the body of excess yeast. There should be more vegetables and fruits on your table. Eat fish, gluten-free grains (brown rice, millet, buckwheat), avoid foods containing gluten (wheat, rye, barley, semolina and pasta, oats). Consume dietary supplements that promote the growth of beneficial bacteria.

If the desired balance in the body has already been disturbed, you can, after consulting with your doctor, try to help yourself with long-known home remedies. The most famous of these is douching with apple cider vinegar (2 tablespoons per liter of water, 2-4 times a day). At night, you can also put “garlic candles” (a clove of garlic is peeled from the upper rough shell, so as not to damage the clove itself, and is placed in the vagina). The effect is noticeable after 3 days. It is also useful to make baths for the perineum: with a decoction of oak bark, calendula, yarrow, rosemary (3 tablespoons of a decoction according to a standard recipe for each liter of water, sit in a warm bath for 15-20 minutes). Take inside bifidobacteria and put tampons with them, as well as treatment of concomitant viral infection.

Breastfeeding mothers

A symptom of thrush in a breastfeeding mother can be severe burning pain on the surface of the nipples or deep inside the breast. Unlike the pain of nipple cracks and mastitis, which gradually subsides while the baby suckles, this pain lasts throughout the feeding, continues immediately after it, and sometimes persists between feedings. Sometimes a sharp, shooting pain radiates from the nipple to the chest, back, or arm. All this is accompanied by increased sensitivity of the nipples, itching. If you are sure that the cause of the pain is not improper attachment or lactostasis, and you do not suffer from eczema, herpes or psoriasis, then it is most likely that you have thrush. Tests will help to confirm the diagnosis.

Warning: You don’t have to stop breastfeeding at all. To treat thrush in a child’s mouth, your doctor may prescribe special antifungal drops. You also need to follow the rules of hygiene when feeding: wash your hands often, cool your breasts carefully before feeding to reduce pain, as a last resort, express milk and feed your baby with a spoon. However, remember that with thrush, breast milk cannot be stored, and bottles and other utensils must be boiled after use.

After feeding at home, wipe the nipple with a solution of vinegar (2 tablespoons per 1 liter of water), air dry your breasts and, if this does not cause discomfort and pain, walk without a bra, if possible with a bare chest ( without allowing, of course, hypothermia).

5 effective ways to get rid of thrush

take to prevent this disease.

Thrush is a common gynecological disease that causes discomfort, itching and burning in the intimate area. The fight against thrush is a long process that requires a combination of several methods.

Here are 5 effective ways to get rid of thrush faster and painlessly:

1. Use of antimycotic drugs – special medicines with antifungal activity.
2. Topical application of antifungals – ointments, creams, suppositories, which are applied to the affected area for faster penetration of medicinal components into the skin.
3. Hygiene – daily mandatory washing of intimate organs, frequent change of linen and use of disposable hygiene products
4. Maintaining a proper diet – reducing the consumption of sugar, flour products, alcohol and sour-milk products to reduce the number of fungi in the body.
5. The use of herbal remedies and folk recipes – strengthening the immune system and quickly getting rid of fungal infections

It is important to understand that the fight against thrush should be complex, and using only one method may not lead to the desired result. Regular use of all of the above methods, combined with a consultation with a gynecologist, will help get rid of thrush quickly and for a long time.

Natural antibiotics

If you suffer from thrush, you probably know that conservative treatment can cause side effects and is not always effective. We propose to solve this problem with the help of natural antibiotics. Our preparations are made only from natural ingredients, do not contain chemical compounds and do not cause side effects.

How does it work?

Natural antibiotics contain a number of active ingredients that block the reproduction of fungi and bacteria. This helps to get rid of thrush without unpleasant consequences.

Our formulations:

• Contains garlic extract, which has a powerful antibacterial effect
• Rich in vitamin C, which supports the immune system
• Includes mint, which reduces inflammation and itching

Probiotics and prebiotics

Many women have problems with thrush. It manifests itself in the form of itching, burning and pain in the vagina, as well as a white discharge with an unpleasant odor. One effective way to combat thrush is to take probiotics and prebiotics.

Probiotics are live microorganisms that are part of the normal flora of the intestines and vagina. They help maintain the balance of microflora and prevent the growth of fungi and bacteria that cause thrush.

Prebiotics are substances that do not participate in the nutrition of the body, but promote the growth of beneficial microorganisms that are part of the intestinal and vaginal flora.

By taking probiotics and prebiotics, you improve the condition of the microflora of the vagina, which helps to eliminate thrush. However, in addition to taking probiotics, it is important to monitor the hygiene of the genitals, wear natural cotton underwear and avoid stressful situations that can adversely affect health.

Choose only quality probiotic and prebiotic products from trusted manufacturers. It is worth noting that our company offers only certified products that guarantee 100% results.

Start your fight against thrush right now! Order probiotics and prebiotics on our website and forget about problems with vaginal health!

Change in diet

Getting rid of thrush begins with a change in diet. Some foods only increase the development of a fungal infection, while others help to naturally restore balance in the body.

• Avoid pasta and dried fruits as they contain harmful sugars and chemical additives that can disrupt your intestinal flora.
• Include citrus fruits, fresh vegetables, leafy vegetables and greens in your diet, which contain vitamins and minerals needed to strengthen the immune system.
• Drink more water to speed up the elimination of toxins from the body and improve digestion.
• Swap dairy products for alternative sources of calcium such as almond milk, soybeans, dark leafy vegetables and nuts.

How to prevent thrush?

Thrush is a fungal disease that can affect a woman’s health. It can be prevented with a few simple steps.

1. Maintain vaginal hygiene

Maintaining good vaginal hygiene is especially important to prevent thrush. Avoid using soap, use soft paper towels for drying, wear natural cotton underwear, and don’t overdo strict diets.

2. Maintain a balance of bacteria in the body

Acid-producing bacteria in the vagina help maintain a natural defense against infections. Eat fermented foods such as yogurt or kefir to help balance the bacteria in your body and protect against thrush.

3. Avoid wet clothing

Wear dry, well-ventilated clothing to prevent fungal growth. If you swim in pools or go into the water, put on a dry swimsuit or change immediately after swimming.

4. Avoid exertion

Excessive exertion, such as cycling or using tampons, can irritate the vagina. Avoid extra effort and, if possible, use natural menstruation products such as recycled gauze pads or natural pads.

5. Take antifungals

If all you do is not working, antifungals can help fight thrush. But do not forget: you should always consult a doctor before using any medication.

Why is it important to get rid of thrush?

Thrush is one of the most common gynecological diseases in women. It causes a lot of discomfort and can lead to serious complications if left untreated. A woman affected by thrush may experience itching, burning, soreness during sex and menstruation, as well as a strong white discharge.

If left untreated, thrush can lead to painful genital ulcers, bleeding, and even infertility. In addition, thrush can get worse and become chronic, making it harder to treat and increasing the risk of other infections.

Therefore, it is important to get rid of thrush as soon as possible. There are several effective treatments that will help you cope with this disease quickly and safely, but it is best to contact a gynecologist for help. Never delay treatment if you have symptoms of thrush – prolonging the time can cost you serious health problems in the future.

What is thrush?

Thrush is a fungal infection that affects the female reproductive system. It is caused by the fungus Candida albicans, which normally inhabits the vagina but can cause infection under certain conditions.

Thrush is manifested by hypersensitivity and itching in the vagina, a white thick or liquid discharge with a sour smell is separated, swelling of the vaginal lips, pain during intercourse and urination is possible.

The disease is unstable and may flare up after pregnancy, antibiotics, immunosuppression, or after prolonged hormone therapy.

Before starting treatment for thrush, you should consult a gynecologist to establish an accurate diagnosis and determine which type of treatment is most effective in each individual case.

What are the symptoms of thrush?

Thrush is an infectious disease caused by the fungus Candida that affects the mucous membrane of the genitals and intestines. This is a very common condition, especially in women, but thrush can also develop in men and children.

Some of the main symptoms of thrush include:

• Burning, itching and irritation in the vaginal area and external genitalia;
• White vaginal discharge that is grainy and may have an unpleasant odor;
• Pain during sex or urination;
• Swelling and redness around the vagina and external genitalia.

If you or your partner are experiencing these symptoms, you may have thrush. But don’t panic! There are many ways to get rid of thrush, including medication and the use of natural remedies. Want to know more? Contact our specialists or check out our services on the website.

How to diagnose thrush?

Thrush is an infectious disease caused by the fungus Candida albicans. It can affect various areas of the body, including the genitals. In order to diagnose thrush, you need to contact a specialist who will perform a few simple procedures:

• Complete blood count . Can show if you have inflammation in your body.
• Vaginal or penile swab . Will be tested for Candida albicans. In this case, the smear can be both fresh and taken out of the past days.
• Microorganism culture . It will also be carried out by a specialist to accurately determine the fungus Candida albicans.

These simple procedures will help you identify the presence of thrush and prescribe the right treatment. If you find symptoms of thrush, consult a gynecologist or urologist for a diagnosis.

What can lead to the development of thrush?

Thrush is a disease caused by the fungus Candida, which can live on the skin, mouth, stomach and genitals. However, a violation of its normal microflora can lead to the development of thrush.

Among the most common causes are:

1. Damage to the vaginal walls, for example, during intense sexual contact, the use of tampons.
2. Violation of intimate hygiene, which leads to the growth of bacteria.
3. The use of antibiotics as a result of the destruction of beneficial microorganisms in the body and the overgrowth of the fungus Candida.
