At the first signs of the disease should visit a gynecologist. He will question the patient, conduct an examination, take a smear on flora. This is usually enough for diagnosis. On examination, the doctor will see redness, swelling of the mucous membrane and skin of the labia, cervix and vagina. In the analysis on the flora will be increased leukocytes, discovered the mycelium and spores of the fungus.

However, the chronic course of the disease, it is not enough. In this case, carry out sowing a vaginal swab. This analysis helps to determine the species of fungi Candida, which caused inflammation, their number and the drug to which they are sensitive. Particularly relevant to this study in frequently recurrent infections.

In addition, genital candiss is a frequent companion of STDs, therefore, the appearance of its symptoms, it is advisable to pass a comprehensive examination on them. Generally "thrush" considered a marker of trouble in the urinary system.

Therefore, self-treatment of candidiasis is unacceptable. It should be performed by a qualified gynecologist. It is believed that genital candidiasis is not related to STDs, so testing and treatment of partner is important only when often recurrent, chronic course of the disease in the patient.

Vulvovaginal candidiasis treatment which is carried out locally and systemically, is prone to relapse. The doctor prescribes the therapy, taking into account your personal experience, financial capabilities of the patient, duration of the disease and its clinical manifestations. When local treatment used candles, balls, vaginal tablets and ointments. One of the most popular drugs for systemic therapy "thrush" is fluconazole.

To prevent this disease you must:

  • To unsubscribe from tight, synthetic underwear and pants;
  • Wash in the morning and evening, during menstruation, after you change pads (every 4 hours);
  • Eat less sweet;
  • Strengthen the immune system;
  • In a timely manner to treat other diseases;
  • To consume dairy products (preferably valves);
  • During treatment, to exclude sex;
  • When taking antibiotics to use antifungal drugs (150 mg of fluconazole after each week of therapy);
  • In a timely manner to restore the microflora of the vagina and intestines.

According to statistics, 5% of women have genital candidiasis becomes chronic and has more than 4 relapses per year. Almost 25% of the patients the disease recurs within 3 months after treatment.

So, vulvovaginal candidiasis is a very unpleasant disease that is prone to relapse. This fact significantly complicates the treatment, which should be conducted in a timely manner. Than later started therapy, so it will be harder and longer.
