5. Wearing tight underwear made of synthetic threads.

That is why it is necessary to choose an effective method for the treatment of ailment in order to get rid of itching and avoid relapse. In the TOP, presented below, we have collected 10 of the best anti-thrush remedies, according to the online reviews and recommendations of gynecologists. We remind you that before using any of them in practice, you should consult with a specialist.

The best medications for thrush

5 Cream and ointment

The popularity of the cream form of candida drugs is due to their relatively low price and versatility. During therapy, they can be used by women and men. An ointment or cream quickly relieves the symptoms of the disease. Itching and burning disappear, cheesy discharge may disappear. It is advisable to use the best local preparations not as an independent remedy when getting rid of an ailment, but in combination with tablets. Then the impact on fungal organisms will be complex and will eliminate the likelihood of relapse.

Usually, the doctor will prescribe a cream or ointment to a patient with a mild disease, when unpleasant fungi have not yet spread to all genitals. When using products with a creamy formula, the mucous membrane is directly affected by the death of microorganisms on the surface. With all the obvious advantages, the cream should be used with caution in patients who are concerned about the liver, since this type of medication influences it quite strongly.

4 Oral pills

The principle of this tool is similar to the formula of candles. For a comfortable introduction of the drug inside it is necessary to wet the pill. It is also recommended to use them closer to the night or to the daytime rest, so that the patient's body is in peace. The action of the tablets is usually aimed at restoring the microflora of the affected organ. Since the drugs do not always differ in their antifungal effects, it is advisable to combine the use of oral drugs with a course of tablets for ingestion.

It is better not to use oral medications during critical days, since in this case their effectiveness is reduced to "no." As with candles, during therapy with tablets, one should observe hygiene, avoid washing away with alkaline cleaning solutions and douching.To establish the necessary dosage for oral treatment during pregnancy, the expectant mother is obliged to consult with the gynecologist. Some pills can cause irreparable harm to the fetus in the first trimester of pregnancy.

3 Oral tablets

Preparations for translational treatment are divided into four types: triazoles, imidazoles, polyenes and macrolides. Their action is similar - they are used to thoroughly remove harmful fungi from the body and to lower their concentration. In addition, they help to remove the swelling of the external genital organs and strengthen the immune system to reduce the likelihood of the disease returning. Their use is recommended for both men and women, because thrush can be sexually transmitted.

The cost of tablets ranges from inexpensive to fairly expensive, from 50 to 600 rubles. Most of them should be taken at least five days every 3-4 hours. However, there is a risk of thrush returning to both partners. According to reviews, almost all the drugs in this line are not very effective, and the cheaper the product, the less its effectiveness. There are patients who have been treated with pills, but only in combination with other antifungal drugs.

2 Oral capsules

The most popular method of treating thrush are the means for single use. Usually they are not prescribed by a doctor, but by women buying on their own, following advertisements and believing the “magical” properties of tablets against an illness. In pharmacy boxes there is only one capsule. After its application in the patient's body, the concentration of antimycotic and antibacterial organisms increases, which effectively combat manifestations of thrush.

The method of treatment with one capsule is very convenient. For a long time, the drug blocks the active vital activity of fungal microorganisms and stops unpleasant sensations. However, since this treatment cannot be called consistent, the probability of recurrence of thrush is high. Independent determination of the severity of the disease is almost impossible. Only a doctor can conduct tests and identify the stage of development of the disease. Sometimes the effect of one capsule is not enough for the patient, so candidiasis may return.

1 Candles

This tool according to many women is the most effective in the treatment of candidiasis. It is quite convenient to use - candles are advised to enter before bedtime so that the drug acts on the body at rest. Exposure directly to the focus of the disease helps to quickly cope with it. Unlike capsules and tablets, there is no detrimental effect on the stomach, and nutrients immediately begin to fight fungi.

With obvious pluses of candles, there is a probability of their inaction. It all depends on proper use. If the drug is not injected too deeply, it may not work, if you do not calculate the depth of administration, then the candles can damage the cervix, which would entail even greater diseases. In addition, during treatment with candles it is necessary to carefully monitor the hygiene of the genital organs. It is forbidden to wear narrow synthetic underwear, douche. It is better to stop wearing daily sanitary pads even after recovery. They are a direct breeding ground for bacteria and fungal organisms.

The best folk remedies for thrush

3 Broth for washing

For washing genitals, counselors in women's forums recommend using almost all the same preparations as for douching, but at the same time using soap. According to popular belief, soap has a highly alkaline formula that helps in getting rid of fungi, which are very afraid of this environment. Washing with soap can instantly relieve unpleasant symptoms, which many women like. Therefore, it is usually on the main treatment women, judging by the reviews, do not pay close attention, which is wrong.

In addition to inexpensive soap, advice is widespread about making a mixture of oak bark, chamomile flowers and dry nettle. It is necessary to bring the natural ingredients to a boil, insist and can be used. Some "forumchanki" advise the use of cotton swabs moistened in the mixture. Such an inexpensive tool can be combined with complex therapy.

2 Carbohydrate-free diet

There is an opinion that when reducing the consumption of fast carbohydrates thrush leaves the patient and never return. Usually, patients with candidiasis are recommended to use natural yogurt for breakfast. In its composition, the product contains many beneficial bacteria, due to which the action of fungal organisms is suppressed. The use of dairy products will be an excellent prevention of an unpleasant disease. In addition, following the popular advice and reviews, it is necessary to increase the use of garlic. It is proved that this fragrant product enhances immunity, which helps with the fight not only with thrush, but also with other ailments.

It should be noted that the diet will work better in combination with taking pills and using oral medications. If you self-medicate in the hope of a magical recovery with food, you can start the disease and achieve its chronic form.

1 Douching solution

Another low-cost common advice during treatment for thrush is douching. The forums are filled with an incredible amount of reviews and recipes for solutions that are advised to be ingested with an enema, syringe or syringe. It would seem that the benefits of such therapy are obvious - the amount of discharge decreases, discomfort disappears, pain during urination decreases. Nevertheless, one must be very careful when choosing the composition for the solution.

Pharmaceutical douching, for example, Miramistin or Chlorfilipt, is helpful and works well with tablets. But the use of "grandmother's" methods for preparing a solution can negatively affect the microflora of the organs. Kefir, soda, hydrogen peroxide - all these products can only harm a woman.
