Products You Should Use to Prevent Vaginal Fungal Infection and Considerations
Vaginal yeast infection (vaginal candidiasis) is caused by the overgrowth of a naturally occurring fungus in your vagina called Candida albicans. There are some products and situations that need to be considered to prevent the growth of fungi.
Note: Consult the specialist for the most accurate information, diagnosis and treatment.
1. Yogurt
A review published in 2006 found that some probiotics may be effective against C. albicans.
Yogurt can be considered a probiotic because it contains live bacteria such as Lactobacillus acidophilus. These bacteria are very important for creating a healthy environment in your vagina. It can help treat overgrowth caused by imbalance.
But make sure that the yogurt you consume does not contain any additional sugar that causes Candida mushrooms to grow.
2. Boric acid
Boric acid is a powerful antiseptic that some women claim to be useful in treating fungal infections that are resistant to other drugs.
A 2009 study showed that topical boric acid may be effective in the treatment of vaginal infections.
Always mix boric acid with water before applying it to your vagina.
Note: Boric acid can have serious side effects, so do not use it without consulting a specialist!
3. Thyme Oil
In one study, it has been shown that oregano oil can inhibit or slow the growth of C. albicans depending on the dosage used.
Add 3-5 drops of oregano oil to every 30 grams of olive oil. Apply this mixture by massaging the skin.
4. Probiotic suppositories and supplements
Probiotics help improve the balance of bacteria-yeast in your body (K).
Oral supplements take about 10 days to take full effect, so some women use vaginal suppositories to see results faster. Always consult the specialist before using the roving.
5. Coconut oil
Studies have shown that coconut oil is effective against C. albicans.
Be sure to get pure, organic coconut oil to treat vaginal yeast infection using coconut oil. You can apply oil directly to the affected area
6. Tea tree oil
Research has shown that a vaginal suppository containing tea tree oil can help treat vaginal infections.
If you use it as a vaginal suppository, make sure it is diluted with a carrier oil, such as jojoba or coconut oil.
7. Apple cider vinegar
Apply apple cider vinegar to the affected area after diluting with water. Make sure the area is thoroughly dry after application (K).
8. Garlic
Garlic has been shown to be an effective Candida killer in a laboratory study. Try adding garlic to your dishes to reduce the effects of infection.
9. Hydrogen peroxide
According to some studies, hydrogen peroxide is a bactericidal and yeast lethal antiseptic.
Be sure to reconstitute the hydrogen peroxide (half water and half hydrogen peroxide) before applying to the skin and do not use for more than five consecutive days.
10. Vitamin C
Vitamin C strengthens the immune system. A strong immune system allows your body to balance itself.
Try increasing your vitamin C intake to increase your body's ability to overcome the fungal infection. Do not apply acidic products containing vitamin C to your skin.
11. Also consider:
Limit the amount of sugar and processed food you consume.
Wear loose clothing, cotton underwear.
Do not spend a long time in wet clothing or swimsuit. Mushroom likes warm, wet environments.
Use antibiotics only when necessary, when advised by your doctor.
Do not use vaginal cleanser unless advised by your doctor and avoid vaginal deodorant sprays and scented vaginal lotions.
Other informations:
Most home apps provide relief in a few days. Some may take a week or may not work.
If your symptoms worsen or if you experience different symptoms, consult your doctor. Also, if your irritation develops separately from your symptoms of yeast infection, consult your doctor.
If you use any substance, supplement or essential oil, be sure to use the best in safety, purity and quality. Buy from a known source in consultation with your doctor.
