One of the most common causes of vaginitis is candidiasis. The aim of this study is to compare the effect of honey and miconazole against Candida albicans, in vitro.
Miconazole can inhibit the growth of Candida completely and kill them, whereas, honey only has inhibitory effects. However, honey does not remove the normal vaginal flora, Lactobacillus.
A comparative study on the differences between the honeys from different areas, with different properties, could be helpful, and the inhibitory effect of honey on the human vaginal isolates would help to get more comprehensive data.
