It is difficult to cure thrush, many women who have encountered the problem of exacerbating candidiasis will agree with this.
In the modern world, women are exposed to many factors that reduce immunity. And the main reason for thrush lies in the weakness of the body's defenses.

It is important to conclude that treatment for thrush with both medicinal and folk remedies will be effective only if you change your lifestyle to a healthier one, eat properly and strengthen the whole body.
It may seem to some that doctors are powerless before this ailment. Having appointed one type of treatment, cancel it, appoint another. In fact, doctors are constantly monitoring the emergence of new drugs and prescribe exactly those that are considered the most effective at the moment.
The choice of medication for thrush
The selection of medicines begins with an examination that identifies a specific causative agent of the disease. Further, based on the information received, the doctor selects the exact medicine that will have the best effect on the identified microorganism.
All medicines for thrush can be divided into two groups.
The first is local medicines. This includes creams, suppositories, gels, vaginal tablets. Despite the fact that these drugs act only in the vagina, and if absorbed, then only in a minimal amount, their use during pregnancy is undesirable (only as directed by a doctor!).
The second group is general-purpose medicines. These are tablets that are supposed to be taken orally. They affect the whole body.
As an example, we can call such a drug as Pimafucin (the active substance is natamycin). Medicines of the triazole group are known, to which the medicine "Diflucan" belongs. In this case, a single dose of one tablet can destroy the fungus and alleviate the condition.
There are other drugs for the treatment of thrush, the effectiveness of which depends on your characteristics.
