Effective drugs Antifungal suppositories are used to treat thrush in women. They bring good result, since the active substance penetrates directly to the location of the pathogen. This therapy option is also more convenient for women. The infection itself is associated with the proliferation of microscopic fungi on the vaginal mucosa. Tablets for this disease are less effective than antifungal suppositories.

What are antifungal suppositories

This is the name for a number of medications of a certain form that are intended to treat candidiasis in a short time. Recovery is achieved through deep penetration of the active component into the mucous membrane. There are two forms of such drugs:

1. Vaginal suppositories for thrush. In gynecology, they are intended for the treatment of candidiasis in women. Thanks to the lactobacilli in the composition, the drugs restore the microflora in case of vaginal dysbiosis and protect against recurrent candidiasis.
2. Rectal suppositories. This variety can be used in case of thrush in women or during menstruation. They are also approved for use for thrush in men. Method of application: rectal. Such antifungal suppositories are injected directly into the rectum.

Mechanism of action

The main properties of suppositories against fungus are the destruction of the pathogen and the restoration of microflora. Most drugs in high concentrations exhibit a fungistatic and fungicidal effect. The first is to destroy the membrane of the fungus and suppress its reproduction, and the second leads to its death. This mainly occurs due to the suppression of stearin biosynthesis in the pathogen cell. Anti-fungal suppositories for women are highly effective. It manifests itself in the following:

• reduce pain and burning in the vagina;
• eliminate cheesy discharge;
• relieve inflammation.

Benefits of suppositories for treating fungal infections

There are several undeniable advantages the use of this form of medication for thrush. The main advantage is that the active substance goes directly to the site of active fungal growth. When applied topically, the effectiveness of the drugs is significantly higher compared to system means. Other benefits of antifungal suppositories:

• some modern means help after a single dose;
• due to low absorption, local drugs rarely cause side effects;
• quickly eliminate the symptoms of the disease;
• more often they contain two main components at once - one kills the fungus, and the other restores the vaginal microflora.

Candles for thrush in women - features of use

An important condition for recovery is that therapy should also be carried out with the sexual partner. Suppositories should be inserted as deep as possible into the vagina. This will allow the drug to completely dissolve. It is better to use the medicine before bedtime. If the procedure takes place in the morning, then after it you need to lie down in a horizontal position for at least 20 minutes so that the antifungal suppository can spread normally throughout the vagina. Instructions for administration are as follows:

• wash your hands without using detergents;
• lie on your back, pull your legs to your chest;
• After inserting the applicator, push the suppository deep into the vagina and remove the applicator;
• if there is no applicator, insert the drug with your fingers as far as possible;
• remain in a lying position for 20 minutes.

Treatment of candidiasis at the initial stage

For mild forms of thrush, local treatment is recommended, for which antifungal suppositories are used. This is explained by the fact that systemic drugs with antimycotic effects have more side effects. At the initial stage of the disease, the use of these remedies is not advisable, because you can cope with less aggressive medications. Other features of the treatment of acute thrush:

1. Local treatment in this case can be replaced by a single dose of Flucostat, Mikomax, Diflucan, Diflazon, Mikosist tablets.
2. If thrush is discovered for the first time and it is an independent pathology without bacterial complications, then the use of antifungal suppositories Polygynax or Terzhinan is not recommended. The basis of these agents is nystatin, a substance with a wide spectrum of antibacterial action. In case of thrush, this component destroys the microflora, which only complicates the situation and can lead to bacterial vaginosis.

The use of suppositories for chronic thrush

Treatment of chronic candidiasis has its own distinctive features. The main one is that systemic drugs for oral use are added to local remedies. The suppositories used are the same as in the case of acute candidiasis. Other features of the treatment of chronic thrush:

• treatment lasts several months, sometimes including therapy against concomitant diseases;
• for mixed urogenital infection provoked by trichomoniasis, candidiasis or gardnerellosis, Neo-Penotran Forte suppositories are used;
• after antifungal therapy, treatment is prescribed with agents that restore healthy microflora - Bifidumbacterin, Acylact.

How to choose effective and inexpensive suppositories for thrush

Antifungal suppositories differ in their main component. Each of them can be active against certain fungi. For this reason, it is important to identify which pathogen caused the thrush. A culture test prescribed by a doctor helps determine it. The study identifies the pathogen, resistance and sensitivity of the fungus to drugs. This is the only way a doctor can prescribe a medicine that will be effective for a particular patient. There are two categories of antifungal suppositories, differing in composition:

1. Single-component preparations. Suppositories from this category exhibit only an antimycotic effect - they contain one substance with an antifungal effect. These products are Pimafucin, Livarol, Gino-Pevaril, Zalain, Ginezol 7, Hexicon, Klion-D.

Candidiasis suppositories during pregnancy

Thrush very often occurs during pregnancy. The reason is reduced general and local immunity. During pregnancy, many medications are prohibited, so it is important to choose a safer one.

Among the candles are:

• suppositories with natamycin - Pimafucin, Primafungin;

Thrush or candidiasis is a fungal disease that can affect not only women, but also men. That is why rectal suppositories for thrush are recognized as universal in the treatment of patients of both sexes.

The causative agent of thrush is an opportunistic microorganism that resides in certain quantities in the vaginal and intestinal microflora of every healthy person. Fungi of the genus Candida begin to multiply under the influence of a number of negative factors.

The list of reasons is quite long, but the most common are:

• changes in the microflora of the vagina and intestines due to taking certain medications (sulfonamides, hormonal drugs) or dietary errors;
• decreased immunity as a consequence of previous inflammatory diseases of any nature;
• diseases of the gastrointestinal tract of an acute or chronic nature, endocrine pathologies, diseases of the genitourinary system;
• pathologies of the hematopoietic system, neoplasms (malignant or benign), allergies of various origins, HIV;
• unprotected sexual contact with a sick person or a latent carrier;
• sudden climate change;
• exposure, prolonged stay in a state of increased psycho-emotional stress.

Every second lady knows the clinical one. Vaginal candidiasis can be successfully treated if adequate therapy is started in a timely manner.

But when the process spreads to the lower intestines, the symptoms in men and women are almost the same:

• lack of appetite, feeling of heaviness in the epigastrium after each meal:
• dyspepsia: flatulence, accompanied by colic, spasms and nausea to the point of vomiting;
• stool disorder. More often observed. The stool contains particles of semi-digested food, lumps or flakes of a cheesy appearance;
• deterioration general condition, sleep disturbances, irritability and depression, increased sweating (especially with the urge to defecate);
• manifestations on the external mucous membranes are possible, which are characterized by the appearance of a whitish coating around the anus;
• skin rashes - acne, pigmentation, acne.

Rectal suppositories for the treatment of candidiasis have several advantages over vaginal suppositories, which gynecologists usually prescribe to their patients:

1. Rectal suppositories for thrush for women are part of complex therapy for the treatment of genitourinary candidiasis. Suppositories are especially relevant in the treatment of male patients.
2. An effective and affordable local drug that acts directly on the site of the lesion if the pathological process is localized in the lower intestine.
3. As a prophylactic agent to eliminate hidden pathology in the intended sexual partner. Such a preventive measure will not hurt even if barrier methods of contraception are used.

In addition, for women there is another advantage of rectal suppositories over vaginal ones. There is no need to interrupt the course of treatment. This is especially important, since fungi have the ability to “adapt”, adapt to medications and become insensitive to the therapy.

Today there is no clear answer about the reason for its appearance.

Factors contributing to the development of thrush:

• decreased immunity;
• infections that have been in the body for a long period;
• diseases transmitted through sexual intercourse;
• taking medications (birth control pills, antibiotics);
• pregnancy.

In men, the disease may not be as noticeable. The woman has a white-yellow, cheesy discharge without a distinct odor, sometimes it is watery. The pain may intensify at night, after taking a bath, before menstruation, or due to allergies.

If a woman is pregnant, then there is no need to worry that thrush cannot harm the fetus. This will not happen, because candidiasis does not spread to the uterus, but spreads exclusively through the vaginal mucosa. However, the signs that appear will cause a lot of discomfort. For this reason, it is important to start treatment in a timely manner. The doctor leading the pregnancy will be able to prescribe the necessary therapy.
