Next, my condition worsened and reached the point, that during sex, I felt a strong pain. The gynecologist said,, that chronic thrush fight much harder and has appointed me suppositories Livarol in combination with fluconazole capsules and echinacea to enhance immunity. Also for the month should refuse intimacy and correct diet, excluding pastry and sweets. Livarol price seemed high, but choose the cheap analog I did not want, because they did not believe in its effectiveness. Suppositories administered immediately after a shower in the supine position. Combined therapy has helped me get rid of the unpleasant symptoms of 2 of the week.

Upon contact with the skin, they soon start to thaw, so I do not recommend for a long time to keep them in hand. After introducing candle appear allocation, so you should enclose a cotton pad. The first improvement I noticed after the second procedure. Itching became less pronounced, discomfort was gone in an intimate place. My treatment lasted 5 days. During this time, the signs of thrush retreated.

Svetlana, 25 years old. After a swim in the sea while on holiday have picked up an infection, with the result that there was a thrush. Gynecologist recommended spark Livarol. they are expensive, but for the health of my money is not sorry. The drug reduced the itching after the first use, but later 4 hours back discomfort. So Livarol can not advise, it eliminates the symptoms only for a while, but not completely cure the disease.
