Diabetic woman are also more prone to the infection, as are woman who have been taking antibiotics or have a low immune system due to some type of disease.
The infection can also be brought on by sex. Too much friction without lubrication can harm the vaginal membranes and safe sex should be practised if you know your partner has Thrush infection.
If you are suffering from Thrush then there are many home treatments you can use to stop the Candida from multiplying and causing you more discomfort and pain.
To Start, a change in diet is a must. Cutting out foods such as sugars, rice and white flour and overconsumption of coffee and alcohol is important.
A weak immune system can bring on the infection so make sure you get plenty of sleep and cut down on unnecessary pharmaceutical drugs such as steroids and antibiotics .
