Candida Albicans

Candida Albicans causes vaginal thrush - an infection which produces a white, curdy discharge, with a strong yeasty or vinegary smell. It is accompanied by soreness and itching of the vulva.

It is caused by lowered immunity, use of oral contraceptives, nutritional deficiencies, and use of antibiotics.

Normally the Candida Albicans micro-organism is held in check by friendly bacteria but these can be knocked out of balance by any of the above. Thrush is quite common after a course of antibiotics. Introducing "live" yoghurt, which contain these friendly bacteria, into the vagina, has been traditionally used as a cure.

Tip: instead of "live" yoghurt which can be messy and ineffective, Acidopilous (friendly bacteria) can be taken orally in capsule form.
