Candida integrated strategy

Candida albicans is a yeast present in our body: on the skin, on the mucous membranes of the mouth, in the intestinal bacterial flora

Candida albicans is a yeast present in our body: on the skin, on the mucous membranes of the mouth, in the intestinal bacterial flora, in the respiratory and genital systems, (especially in the vulva and vagina of the female one).

Under particular conditions this yeast becomes a pathology.

Vaginal candidiasis is one of the most common pathologies in women of reproductive age. About 75% of women of childbearing age have had it at least once in their lives. It is an inflammation of the vaginal mucosa that also tends to recur in 50% of women.

The basis of relapses lies in extra or intracellular pathogenic biofilms: bacteria and fungi, protected by a kind of network woven by proteins and sugars that they themselves produce, which survive in the tissues after the first infection.

It is not to be considered one of the infectious diseases that is sexually transmitted but in recurrent forms it is not to be excluded because men are carriers without symptoms.

But what are these symptoms? The symptoms of candida vaginitis are quite annoying:

  • Vulvovaginal itching;
  • Vulvovaginal burning;
  • Pain in the genitals during sexual intercourse;
  • Pearly-white lesions on gums or oral mucosa (as it can also occur in the mouth).

Vulvovaginal candidiasis: causes and prevention

There are several factors that compromise the immune system thus causing the proliferation of Candida Albicans in the female genitalia. The most important are:

  1. Broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy;
  2. Psycho-physical stresses that raise the level of cortisol and lower the immune system;
  3. Poor intimate hygiene;
  4. Wear tight-fitting clothes (rising temperature promotes fungal growth);
  5. Suffering from diabetes mellitus (high glucose in the blood promotes the proliferation of the fungus).

It is possible to prevent candida infections by using antibiotics only out of necessity because they are powerful drugs whose negative effects can last over time and prefer the use of breathable linen.

There are many natural remedies for the treatment of candida. Let’s see some of them:
