Every woman with a cold experiences an unpleasant heaviness in the lower abdomen. This is usually a consequence of the inflammatory process or the influence of a fungal infection, which can cause white discharge in girls in the vagina. There are many varieties of fungal infections, but it is with a cold and thrush (otherwise - candidiasis) that appear curdled white discharge. Many ladies are still confident that such discharge is already a sign of thrush, but do not rush to draw conclusions. Gynecologists have proven that even candidiasis or another infection that causes this kind of vaginal discharge can penetrate the female body with weakened immunity.
Signs of thrush in women :
- Thrush can cause severe itching of the labia or vagina;
-When thrush appears cheesy white discharge in girls or women;
- During sexual contact, a severe, or, on the contrary, sharp pain can be felt;
- There may also be problems with urination;
If two or more of the symptoms listed above are missing, then most likely you have a more “mild” fungal disease or a common cold. Of course, in such a situation, the most rational solution is to contact your gynecologist.
There are also situations where white discharge in the vagina occurs almost always, but in this case, most likely, candidiasis is quite severely triggered or a common cold is quite common. Therefore, in addition to the general treatment prescribed by the doctor, it is necessary to independently engage in the prevention of thrush.
So, it’s good for women to use yoghurts that contain fermented milk cultures. Doctors say that these mixtures can prevent the development of fungal infections in the female body, which can cause white discharge in the vagina in girls. In addition, it is often recommended to take garlic (or food with garlic), pepper, various natural berries, propolis, grapefruit or orange juice , etc.
In any case, there are a number of necessary recommendations that can prevent the appearance of thrush:
- It is necessary to reduce weight to your average configuration. To do this, you need to eat more natural fruits and vegetables, while limiting the consumption of sweet and starchy foods. The components of sugar and baking create a kind of nutrient medium for fungal infections, so limit their amount in your diet.
- In order not to appear white discharge in girls and women, it is necessary to select high-quality underwear. Doctors recommend wearing cotton underwear rather than synthetic underwear, which adversely affects the skin without letting in enough air to it. With insufficient oxygen penetration, evaporation of sweat is difficult, as a result of which conditions are created under which any infection can occur.
- If you use condoms and lubricant gels during sexual intercourse, purchase only high-quality ones. You should not buy such things in transitions or in one-day shops. In pharmacies you will find everything you need.
- There is a category of women who are allergic to condoms, as a result of which white curdled discharge may also occur. In this case, consult a gynecologist and he will advise you on condoms made of polyurethane.
- Try to douche as little as possible at home. In some cases, women simply wash out the healthy flora. Therefore, only a gynecologist can determine whether it is necessary for you or not.
- Try to avoid casual sexual intercourse and quick change of partners. It will not lead to anything good. In any case, the female flora can be disturbed, which threatens the appearance of a fungal disease.
