TRUSH
Thrush is a fungal infection of the vagina caused by Candida albicans. This is a fungus that lives on the skin and around your vagina. In the case of changes among the normal vaginal micro-organisms, Candida fungi may grow and cause infection. If the natural balance of micro-organisms is disturbed, it can lead to some very unpleasant symptoms: intense itching and irritation. Sometimes, you might also feel a burning sensation and notice a thick, curd-like, white discharge.

OF THRUSH
After taking a shower or swimming, dry your intimate area carefully. Avoid using perfumed agents for your intimate hygiene (perfumed shower gels, soaps, bath foams etc.). To prevent any infectious agents getting into your vagina, after passing urine, clean the eternal genitalia with toilet paper by wiping front to back. Regularly change your hygiene care products (hygiene pads and tampons). Ensure a healthy and balanced diet. Wear underwear made of natural fibres. Wash your underwear at high temperatures. It is not recommended to take a hot bath too often. Avoid rinsing inside your vagina.
