It is the most frequent pathology in gynecology since vaginal mycosis affects about 15% of women during their genital activity.
Les mycoses vaginales Vaginal mycoses are usually caused by a fungus, candida albicans. These vaginitises are characterized by vulvar itching and white discharge. This harmful fungus settles and develops when there is an imbalance in the intestinal flora. It is therefore essential to regenerate and rebalance the intestinal flora by providing living bacteria and, at the same time, to stimulate the immune system so that undesirable bacteria can no longer develop. Once the intestinal flora is rebalanced and regenerated, the flora of the other mucous membranes will also be rebalanced.
Candida albicans and antibiotics
The development of candida albicans is most often the consequence of the repetitive use of antibiotics that destroy both the intestinal and vaginal flora. These microbial flora both have an essential physiological function: to prevent the excessive multiplication of undesirable and disturbing fungi and moulds.
According to Dr. Eileen Hilton, the "natural" antibiotic properties that have been attributed to yogurt for centuries are well founded in science. In fact, he found that women who habitually consumed one cup of plain yogurt per day had three times less vaginitis than those who did not. The bacterial cultures used were active acidophilus cultures. It is the acidophilus (live) bacteria that is believed to be the active agent responsible for the healing powers of yogurt.
Therefore, read the labels carefully in order to choose the right product because no legislation obliges yogurt manufacturers to use this bacterium. You can also make your own yogurt from acidophilus cultures available at health food stores. But be careful: to exercise their therapeutic principles, cultures must be alive. In order not to destroy them, avoid heating the yogurt, because once the bacteria are destroyed by cooking, the yogurt has no therapeutic value in the treatment of vaginitis.
Vaginitis and tissue acidity
It has also been found that many women with vaginitis have an acid-base imbalance. Indeed, tissue acidity is a factor that aggravates this type of problem and favors the development of undesirable bacteria and other fungi and parasites. By testing your urine, you can easily see if you have tissue acidity. If this is the case, it is necessary to act on the correction of this acidity.
Insufficient local treatment
If only local treatment is used, recurrences are frequent. In order to avoid them, it is necessary to add a basic treatment of the intestinal flora which will not only eliminate the undesirable microbes and fungi, but will also stimulate the immune system so that it can fight against these intruders in the future.
The caprylic acid, a fatty acid extracted from coconut or palm oil, helps fight the growth of unwanted bacteria and fungi and has been shown to have anti-candida action.
