Introduction
Before choosing a treatment, you’ll need to complete a short online consultation. This helps ensure you receive the most appropriate and effective option for your condition.
Thrush
The frequency of thrush makes it important for the average person to understand the condition and thrush treatment options they can turn to. Without treatment, thrush can become a painful and persistent problem.
Using an effective thrush treatment can help to relieve irritation and get rid of the infection quickly.
What is Thrush?
Thrush is a common yeast infection that can affect both men and women.
While typically harmless, it can be uncomfortable to live with and become a recurring condition if not treated properly.
Thrush is most commonly found in the vagina or on the penis. However, it can also appear on other body parts, such as:
- Armpits
- Groin
- Mouth
Thrush is not classed as a sexually transmitted infection (STI), although it can be transmitted during sexual intercourse.
Thrush Symptoms
There are a few typical thrush symptoms to look out for if you think you have thrush. Women, in particular, can suffer from a number of thrush symptoms. These include:
- White vaginal discharge (which does not usually smell)
- Itching and irritation around the vagina
- Soreness and stinging during sex and urination
In men, symptoms manifest themselves in the following ways:
- Irritation, burning and redness around the head of the penis and beneath the foreskin
- White discharge (often with an unpleasant spell)
- Tight foreskin
What Causes Thrush?
Thrush is caused by a fungus called candida albicans. This fungus is normally harmless, but when it grows out of control, thrush develops. These organisms exist in certain areas of our bodies but in warm moist areas (good for growth) they can grow much faster than usual. If your body’s immune system fails to manage it then the overgrowth of yeast is known as thrush.
Thrush most commonly occurs in your 30s and 40s or during pregnancy. It’s estimated three in four women will be affected by thrush at some point.
