For example, many women can contract a common and annoying infection called candidiasis. And if you are not careful to change certain behaviors, the risk is that the infection will not heal completely or recur.
As we continue reading, we will briefly see what candidiasis is and how it can be prevented.
Few people know that a few simple tricks are enough to keep this annoying and very common infection away
Candidiasis is a very common infection in women, but it can also affect men. It is a mainly gynecological infection, due to the overgrowth of the Candida albicans fungus, which causes various discomfort. Candidiasis generally causes intimate itching and burning and whitish and smelly discharge, making it difficult to live your daily life peacefully.
This infection is quite widespread: just think that about 2 out of 3 women contract it at least once in their life. Furthermore, it often happens that the infection returns, especially if some incorrect behaviors that favor candidiasis continue. Relapses are common in stable couples, where there is the unpleasant “ping pong” effect, where one partner passes it to the other and vice versa.
That is why, to prevent candidiasis, it is advisable to follow a few simple steps.
How to prevent candidiasis
As we have seen, candidiasis is an infection due to the excessive proliferation of a fungus that normally inhabits our body. Unfortunately, some situations can favor its excessive proliferation and lead to candidiasis infection. Yet, few know that a few simple tricks are enough to keep this annoying and very common infection away:
- reduce stress to a minimum: stress tends to weaken the defenses and favor the onset of various disorders, including candidiasis;
- follow a healthy diet: in particular, it would be advisable to reduce the consumption of sugars and yeast and increase the consumption of lactic ferments. These, which can be found in yogurts, are excellent for protecting the intestinal bacterial flora;
- exercising regularly and not drinking too much alcohol;
- follow proper intimate hygiene: it is important to always take care of hygiene with special detergents and avoid clothes that are too tight.
In conclusion, these are the tips to prevent candidiasis. In any case, if you suspect that you are suffering from candidiasis, it is advisable to always contact your gynecologist for the diagnosis and possibly for therapy.
