Vaginal Thrush: the TRUTH
behind Vaginal Thrush


At least three out of four women have experienced vaginal thrush at some time or the other. Most have recurring infections. Though not life threatening, it can be an extremely unpleasant & distressing disease.




Vaginal thrush, also known as vaginal Candidiasis or vaginitis, is caused by yeast called Candida albicans. This yeast is a part of the normal flora of the skin, mouth, digestive system, vagina & other parts of the body. Its numbers r kept in check by friendly bacteria. When certain conditions alter the balance of the friendly bacteria, the Candida multiplies exponentially & the overgrowth causes symptoms.

There r various precipitating factors which lead to vaginal thrush. Vaginal thrush normally follows a course of antibiotics, which kills off the friendly bacteria, allowing the Candida to flourish. Hormonal imbalances during pregnancy, before periods, high doses of oral contraceptive pills have known to cause vaginal thrush. Debilitating disorders like diabetes & diseases like cancer or AIDS cause Candidiasis. A compromised immune system is most certainly an invitation for the Candida to cause infection like vaginal thrush.

Though it is not normally considered a sexually-transmitted disease, sexual transference is known to occur. Lack of personal hygiene, tight synthetic clothes, allergies etc. is also an important cause of vaginal thrush. Recurring vaginal thrush infections which do not respond to treatment may be an early sign of diabetes or HIV infection.




Early symptoms of vaginal thrush include vaginal irritation, itching, bright red rash affecting inner & outer parts of the vulva, pain during urination, thick curd-like discharge from the vagina, & painful intercourse. Symptoms of vaginal thrush often mimic those of other sexually-transmitted diseases, so it is recommended that a medical practitioner make the diagnosis & draw up a treatment plan.




Anti-fungal medications may be used to manage vaginal thrush. Over-the-counter treatments r available is the form of cream, tablets, & pessaries. Single dose oral tablets r also available. However, yeast infection medications & OTCs may have side effects, most common of which r nausea, allergies & rashes. Moreover, most vaginal thrush medications r only work in the short run. The reason is that vaginal yeast medications r aimed at tackling the immediate causes of Candida, whereas vaginal thrush is a complex condition, triggered by an overall internal imbalance (or a set of internal factors) .




As there r many internal as well as external factors involved in the etiology of vaginal thrush, just the use of anti-fungal medications does not prevent recurrence. To ensure complete & permanent relief a holistic approach is recommended, which looks far beyond just curing the symptoms. A Candida cleanse diet, use of probiotics, life-style changes all go into making the treatment of vaginal thrush successful.

VAGINAL INFECTIONS
Some intermediate infections r caused by micro organisms that r a sort of cross between a bacterium & a virus. Chlamydia is the most common, it is virtually always sexually transmitted. Bacterial infections can be triggered by various kinds of bacteria most common is ''heamophilus vaginalus'' (or HV). Bacteria can be imported from the bowls or transmitted sexually, like fungi they thrive in alkalinity. If ur vaginal acidity is high u will probably resist the invasion, if not the bacteria will flourish.
