Treatment of acute form of thrush
It is very important to stop the development of primary candidiasis, which has not yet passed into a chronic form, at the first stage of the disease. An important role here is played by the observance of intimate hygiene, the abandonment of close synthetic underwear, excessive consumption of sweets and flour products, the restoration of the normal microflora of the vagina and intestines. Most often, women use such drugs from acute candidiasis, such as:
- Kanesten, Kandibene, Kandizol, Antifungol, Jenamazol 100, Candid B6 (active ingredient clotrimazole);
- Lomexin (active ingredient of feticonazole);
- Oronazole, Livarol, Bizoral, Vetorosal, Ketoconazole, Nizoral, Mycosoral (the active substance ketoconazole, which is considered the most effective drug for candidiasis in uncomplicated form);
- Ginezol, Ginezol 7, Gino-dactarin, Klion-D 100 (active substance miconazole);
- Iphenec, Gino-pevaril (active substance econazole);
- Gino-travogen (active ingredient isoconazole);
- Pimafucin (active substance natamycin);
- Mikogal (active ingredient Omoconazole);
- Gynofort (active substance butoconazole);
- Zalain (active ingredient of sertaconazole).
The drugs described above for the treatment of candidiasis in women are available in the form of vaginal suppositories or tablets, which can be easily purchased at any pharmacy. If thrush flows easily and without pronounced symptoms, it is better to dispense with local means, since drugs intended for ingestion have an adverse effect on the functioning of the kidneys and liver.
However, in more severe cases, the doctor can recommend you such drugs against candidiasis, as Mikoflukan, Flukostat, Diflazon, Diflukan, Ciskan, Mikomaks, Mycosyst, made on the basis of fluconazole. All of them are designed for a single intake inwards.
Treatment of acute thrush is from 1 to 7 days. In this case, women are advised to temporarily stop their sex life and carefully observe the rules of intimate hygiene. It should be remembered that all drugs from vaginal candidiasis only work if they are used regularly, so the course prescribed by the doctor should not be interrupted. In this case, the disappearance of acute symptoms of thrush does not mean a complete cure. To monitor the condition of microflora, it is necessary to carry out a study of the smear from the vagina.
If any side effects (allergy, irritation of the mucosa, bloody or purulent discharge) are observed with candidiasis, treatment should be stopped immediately and consult a specialist.
What should I do for a chronic form of thrush?
The chronic form of the disease is said if it is aggravated at least 4 times a year. In this case, preparations for the treatment of candidiasis are selected only after an analysis of the sensitivity of the causative agent to a particular drug. Local therapy, which remains the same as in acute form, necessarily adds a systemic method of antifungal agents in the form of tablets based on fluconazole, ketoconazole, itraconazole, natamycin, as well as vitamin therapy followed by the use of eubiotics that restore the healthy microflora of the vagina (Bifidumbacterin, Acilact) .
