Recurring Thrush in Women

Recurring thrush is common in women, and can be caused by a number of factors including:
  • A natural propensity towards chemical imbalance in the vagina.
  • Washing the genitals incorrectly. This can mean either using harsh chemicals to wash them, or by not washing them often enough.
  • Wearing the wrong type of clothing.
  • Having a partner who transmits thrush back to you.

Regular-Use Treatments

The three regular-use treatments listed below - Femigel, Biofem and Topida - are useful for keeping your vaginal fluids in balance, even if you do not have thrush. They are not pharmacy-strength products, so can be used daily. They are instead designed to maintain your vaginal health and to help prevent thrush.

  • Multi-Gyn ActiGel 50ml
    Multi-Gyn ActiGel 50ml

    Multi-Gyn ActiGel 50ml is a safe, gentle and effective gel to soothe, relieve and prevent intimate discomforts. If you are prone to thrush or suffer reoccurring bouts of thrush then
    Multi-Gyn     ActiGel 50ml can help re-balance the natural flora of your vagina. Multi-Gyn contains a complex of plant extracts, as well as soothing aloe vera. Multi-Gyn can even be used as a daily vaginal moisturiser or sexual lubricant.

  • Salcura Topida 50ml
    Salcura Topida 50ml

    Topida is a vaginal spray containing natural products, designed to help maintain vaginal hygiene. We think that the spray form is particularly good as it is hygenic, and makes one bottle last a very long time. Salcura Topida soothes and moisturises the vagina, and contains antibacterial and anti-fungal ingredients.

    Topida is ideal for anybody who is prone to thrush, bacterial vaginosis or cystitis. It is suitable for daily use and free from Steroids, hormones, cortisones, peroxides, alcohol and parabens.
