What is Thrush (Yeast infection)?
Thrush, also known as candidiasis, is a fungal infection caused by the overgrowth of Candida yeast, most commonly Candida albicans. Thrush can occur in various parts of the body, including the mouth (oral thrush), vagina (vaginal thrush), and other moist, warm areas of the skin.
Although it is uncomfortable, there are several ways to manage it, and there is little risk to your long-term health. Some individuals do, however have persisting symptoms that might be more challenging to cure. Your symptoms can be effectively treated by our clinicians, who can also assist you in determining the origin of your thrush.
Given that the vagina typically contains low concentrations of candida albicans, thrush is considered to affect many women at some point in their life. Once a woman has had her first period and after going through the menopause, the likelihood of developing thrush decreases. Men are also susceptible, with symptoms typically centered around the penis head.
