Recurrent vaginal thrush is a significant problem for some women and is harder to treat than gut-mediated thrush (Candida infection). Some authorities argue that vaginal thrush can’t be cured. Where it’s probably true that all Candida plants could never be completely killed, it’s equally true that the colony can be reduced to such a minuscule level that no symptoms ever manifest. To achieve this I’ve found the following steps must be taken.
1. Sex with a condom is a must. Many men have Candida yeast infections in their penis and Candida spores are carried out with the sperm. Some have blood Candida infections which can give rise to Candida in the sperm itself.
2. Sex with a partner with jock itch must not be engaged in. Jock itch results from Candida plants growing in the pubic, scrotal and groin areas. Make sure he shaves the whole pubic area (base of the penis, groin and scrotum). Make sure he uses a safety razor and not a barber’s razor. He must then apply the Nystatin cream (same as the ladies use) to the whole area every day for fourteen days—no sex during this time.
3. While your partner is doing this you must be doing the same.
Shave the pubic and vaginal area and apply Nystatin cream to it and inside the vagina for fourteen days. This is so you don’t give him back the jock itch that he will give back to you as vaginal thrush—no sex during this time. Do this even if you have no symptoms of thrush. During this time make sure you are wearing only 100 per cent cotton knickers which must be zapped in the microwave after laundering (while still slightly damp) for five minutes. This will effectively kill the Candida spores that survived the wash.
If you have suffered repeated severe bouts of vaginal thrush in the past and find the emotional stress of it overbearing, you won’t want to be going through this treatment procedure too often. I suggest then you bring the big guns to bear on your vaginal thrush. Ask your doctor to put you on a course of Nizoral. Nizoral is very effective at killing blood-borne Candida and those that are deep seated in the walls of the vagina. Make sure you have a liver function test first. If you suspect your partner may have blood-borne Candida and if oral sex is a preference of yours he must definitely go on Nizoral too. The chances of you contracting gut-borne Candida infection from oral sex are too great otherwise. Gut-borne Candida infections give rise to vaginal thrush again in time. While faking Nizoral you must be on the full Anti-Candida Program and Nystatin under the supervision of your doctor or other health professional.
Vaginal thrush must be contained if the systemic’ allergies and Candida infections are to be overcome. You won’t gel 100 per cent better if acetaldehyde is entering your blood system from Candida albicans plants that are deep sealed in the walls of your vagina.
