Hello

Thanks for writing to us

In vagina there are certain organisms which remain normally but sometimes they overgrow leading to infection which is called vaginitis , candida or yeast infection is one of them. In mouth it is called thrush

Causes can be several like stress , use of birth control pills , less immunity , diabetes , douching etc


To treat them one has to control the pH of vagina , take probiotics , maintain the hygiene oral as well as vaginal

Saline gargles for mouth and taking B Complex supplements , mouth wash , drinking lot of water , avoiding antibiotics , applying gentian violet paint helps in curing it

Stress should be avoided. For that XXXXXXX breathing exercises , meditation and yoga help a lot

For vaginal candidiasis fluconazole is to be taken under doctor's guidance and prescription
Perfumes, deodorants and vaginal douching should be avoided

Curd or yogurt helps when applied locally

Nystatin cream can be applied locally for vaginal candidiasis

There are pessaries for vaginal use but they should be used under doctor's guidance

So with proper care , relaxation , avoidance of antibiotics , increasing the immunity by good diet and exercises helps to relieve these symptoms

Best wishes

Any further query is most welcome
