Thrush in the intimate area is quite a common condition and while it can affect many women at any age, it is more widespread as a woman reaches menopause and the hormonal composition of her body changes. It is often caused by candida, which is a fungus-like organism. Many times the fungus is already naturally present in the intimate area without causing problems. But in certain circumstances the balance tips and the fungus multiplies quickly, causing problems.
These circumstances can be things like having been sick and taken a cause of antibiotics. Typically antibiotics are used to destroy harmful bacteria that are present with an illness, but the medication doesn’t distinguish between good and bad bacteria and destroys beneficial bacteria equally in the process. This can then lead to an overgrowth of yeast and to an infection. Sometimes thrush can happen before or after the monthly period due to hormone fluctuation, or during pregnancy for the same reason. Diabetes is another factor, especially if glucose levels are frequently up and down. Tight trousers or polyester underwear is another problem that restrict airflow and create a warm and moist environment that the fungus loves to thrive in. Anything that is an irritant to the sensitive environment of the vaginal flora, like vaginal deodorants, bubble baths, perfume or even sexual intercourse, or low immunity and stress can run things out of balance and help the growth of vaginal thrush.
There are signs and symptoms that can indicate an infection and most of them are quite unpleasant to the woman, such as persistent itchiness inside the vagina, burning and tenderness, especially when passing urine, or redness, pain and discomfort. Another sign is visible change in vaginal discharge. Thankfully vaginal thrush can be prevented and it is always better to work preventative by using natural, mild cleansers when showering, avoiding douches, wiping from front to back after a bowel movement and choosing cotton underwear rather than nylon.
When it comes to dryness of the intimate area, it means the normal vaginal acidity that is acting as a barrier for the spread of bacteria is not present any longer at the proper level and the bacterial balance is out of whack, leading often to vaginal thrush. This in particular is often a problem in menopausal women after they have been intimate with their partner, due to intercourse introducing more bacteria from the partner into the vagina’s micro flora that has a low immune response already.
These problems can be easily prevented and a healthy balance be restored naturally by using an easy thrush treatment such as our new product ‘Purely Essential Intimate Balance’. This product is completely natural and is providing triple action power for
