Basically, ever since I started taking iron, vitamins, Lactogyn, folic acid, and using tea tree vaginal suppositories + applying Canesten externally morning and night + wearing loose, comfy clothes + sticking to a balanced diet high in iron and vitamins (mostly just greens) 🤣 , things have changed

🙂 I think the main culprits for me were a weak immune system, long courses of antibiotics, stress, junk food... sweets... but I feel like I'm finally on the right track to beating this... hopefully for good
I struggled with this for a pretty long time too. It wasn't life-threatening, but it was definitely irritating. Honestly, once you close the loop and get everything in balance, the problems should stop. While I was being careless, those little pests were just waiting for their chance. They still lurk today. Whenever I'm on an antibiotic, I know they're coming, so I prepare myself. Luckily, I haven't taken antibiotics in two years, so there isn't as much of a problem. I constantly nag my doctor about it because I don't believe him when he says it's rare; he claims only about one in ten women shows up to his clinic with normal discharge. But honestly, candidiasis (due to our lifestyle) has become as common as cellulite among women. 😬
If it stays minor, it’s mostly harmless, but it gets dangerous if it spreads deeper or if it persists heavily for a long time.
Sorry if I sound blunt. I'm always posting in these threads, so I've become a bit of a regular. After doing this a hundred times, you kind of start talking like a drill sergeant. 🙂
Once you get past it, prevention is everything. Eating plenty of yogurt and using a probiotic tampon once a week overnight works wonders. And if your immune system is weak, focus on vitamins, getting enough sleep, minimizing stress, and keeping a relatively decent diet (since nobody can eat 100% healthy all the time). 🙂
