Cukr a kvasinky: Jak cukr ovlivňuje vaginální mykózu a co s tím dělat

When you have recurring kvasinky, vaginální infekce způsobená přemnožením kvasinek rodu Candida. Also known as vaginální mykóza, it is not caused by poor hygiene — but by what you eat, how stressed you are, and whether your body is flooded with sugar. Many women think kvasinky are just a nuisance, but if they keep coming back, it’s often because sugar is still on the menu — even if you don’t think you’re eating much of it.

The link between cukr, jednoduché sacharidy, které rychle zvyšují hladinu glukózy v krvi and kvasinky is well documented. Kvasinky feed on sugar. Every cookie, every glass of juice, even that ‘healthy’ yogurt with fruit — it all turns into fuel for them. If you’ve had kvasinky more than twice in six months, your body might be telling you something: it’s not the underwear, it’s the dessert. And if you have cukrovka, metabolické onemocnění, které zvyšuje hladinu glukózy v těle a vytváří ideální prostředí pro kvasinky, even small amounts of sugar can trigger a flare-up.

It’s not just about cutting out candy. Hidden sugars are everywhere — in sauces, bread, granola bars, even ‘diet’ products. You don’t need to go cold turkey, but you do need to read labels. Swap white bread for sourdough, sugary yogurt for plain Greek yogurt with berries, and soda for sparkling water with lemon. Your body will thank you — and your vagina will stop itching.

Some women swear by probiotics, apple cider vinegar, or coconut oil — and those might help. But if you keep eating sugar, they’re just putting a bandage on a leaky pipe. The real fix? Stop feeding the problem. When you reduce sugar, you starve the kvasinky. Within days, the burning and discharge often start to fade. And if you’ve been on antibiotics recently? Sugar is even more dangerous — it wipes out good bacteria while letting kvasinky take over.

This isn’t about being perfect. It’s about awareness. You don’t need to eliminate every trace of sweetness — just be smart about it. And if you’ve tried everything and kvasinky still come back? Look at your blood sugar. Talk to your doctor. It might not be just an infection — it might be a signal.

In the posts below, you’ll find real advice from women who’ve been there: what to eat, what to avoid, how long it takes to recover, and why some treatments fail. No fluff. No myths. Just what works — when you stop feeding the kvasinky.
