Candidiasis: discover the most common causes
Candida albicans is a saprophytic fungus, belonging to the saccaromycetes family.
Normally it is found in the oral cavity, in the gastrointestinal tract and in the vagina.
Candidiasis occurs when this fungus becomes pathogenic, so it becomes “opportunist”.
Candidiasis feeds on sugars and carbohydrates, and is a particular form of dysbiosis. It can be caused by:
- Lowering of immune defenses
- Diet rich in sugars and carbohydrates
- Use of antibiotics or corticosteroids
- Strong stress, which causes an increase in cortisol and then of blood sugar
- Unprotected sexual relations
The PROBIOTICS present in ISIDE 22®, Lactobacillus Gasseri and Lactobacillus Rhamnosus, are bacteria normally present in the vaginal bacterial flora and are particularly useful for maintaining the health conditions of this delicate region. The most important feature is their ability to metabolize the glycogen present in the vaginal transudate by producing lactic acid. The result is a decrease in pH (< 4.5): this acidity constitutes an important defense of the vaginal environment against attacks by pathogenic germs.
BORIC ACID quickly acidifies the vaginal environment.
INULIN acts as a prebiotic, therefore it represents a source of nutrition for probiotics.
Good habits to prevent intimate infections
The major risk of developing vaginal infections happens to women of childbearing age and sexually active.
The ideal clothing to prevent disorders such as candida albicans is certainly natural cotton, avoiding synthetic fibers. This type of clothing allows air to circulate and prevents the formation of a hostile environment, capable of modifying vaginal microflora.
Even the tight-fitting garments are absolutely not recommended. In addition, you must keep a good intimate hygiene, using only mild detergents, at least once a day.
If you play sports, it is very important to change your underwear immediately after exercising.
