Like everything else in life, wine, as much as it increases our happiness hormone, comes with side effects. We are talking about vaginal infections that are even more present during the hot season.
In high temperatures, it is very important to keep your intimate area cool, hygienic and healthy. What can you do to prevent them and what do you not know about them?
They can become resistant to medication
Since many women take medication without having a true yeast infection, these bacteria over time become resistant to antibiotics and fighting the infection becomes much more difficult. Therefore, an examination by a gynecologist is necessary.
They can also form in the mouth
This is not a joke. Fungal infections can develop in the mouth, gums and in the worst cases affect the esophagus. Fortunately these are simpler to cure.
They can be caused by feces
Candida organisms develop in the rectum and during bowel movements, they can migrate to the vagina. There is no way to completely prevent this, but you can reduce your chances by consuming foods that contain probiotics and maintaining good hygiene.
Men can also be affected
If a man has unprotected sex with a woman who has a yeast infection, he too can become infected. Symptoms are redness, itching and pimples on the penis.
They can be a sign of diabetes
Women who have a higher blood sugar level are more likely to be affected by fungal infections.
Pasta lovers are more at risk
Candida is found naturally in the digestive tract, but its levels also depend on the diet. Those who consume high amounts of carbohydrates increase the chances of being affected by them.
How can you prevent it?
1. Let the vagina breathe freely
Përdorni pambukun si material miqësor me lëkurën. Sapo të ndjeni që jeni djerësitur, bëni një dush të freskët dhe ndërrohuni sa më shpesh të mundeni. Edhe në plazh, pas daljes nga deti, e mira është t'i ndërroni rrobat e banjës menjëherë, aq më tepër nëse e dini se jeni të predispozuar për infeksione vaginale.
2. Qëndroni larg solucioneve me aromë, parfumeve apo sapunëve
Mënyra më e mirë për t'u larë është uji i vakët, i rrjedhshëm dhe sapun i thjesht pa aromë. Sigurohuni që sapunin ta përdorni vetëm në pjesën e jashtme të vaginës.
3. Kujdes me sheqerin
Sheqeri mund ta përkeqësojë edhe më bakterin që është bërë shkak për infeksionin tuaj.
4. Mos harroni të ndiqni sipas udhëzimeve mjekimet tuaja
If you have been diagnosed with a vaginal infection, your doctor has probably given you a prescription of medication to follow closely. Do it according to his recommendation because if you don't treat it properly it can be repeated or extended in time.
