What causes thrush?
Thrush occurs due to an overgrowth of Candida yeast, often triggered by hormonal changes, the use of antibiotics, stress, or certain underlying health conditions.
Thrush (also called candidiasis) is a common yeast infection caused by an overgrowth of a fungus calledCandida albicans. It can affect the mouth (oral thrush) or the vagina (vaginal thrush), and most people will experience it at some point in their lives.
Affects approximately 75% of women at some point. Common symptoms include: Itching and irritation in and around the vagina Soreness or discomfort during sex or urination White, cottage-cheese-like discharge (usually odourless)
Occurs when Candida overgrows in the mouth, leading to white or creamy patches on the tongue, inner cheeks, gums, or throat. You may notice: Redness, soreness, or a “cotton-like” feeling in the mouth Loss of taste or discomfort when eating or swallowing White patches that can be wiped off, sometimes revealing red areas underneath Oral thrush is more common in people who: Have recently taken antibiotics or inhaled steroids Wear dentures Have diabetes or a weakened immune system Are pregnant or smoke
Treatment usually involves a short course ofantifungal medicationsuch as miconazole, clotrimazole, or nystatin, along with good hygiene practices and addressing any underlying causes.
This option involves taking one oral dose that works from within to stop the growth of the yeast causing thrush.

Female thrush, also known as vaginal yeast infection, is a common condition caused by an overgrowth of yeast that naturally lives in the vagina. This overgrowth can be triggered by factors such as antibiotics, hormonal changes, pregnancy, wearing tight or non-breathable underwear, or a weakened immune system. Thrush is not a sexually transmitted infection, but sexual activity can sometimes trigger symptoms.
Typical symptoms include itching, irritation, and redness around the vulva, a thick white vaginal discharge (often compared to cottage cheese), discomfort during sex, and a stinging or burning sensation when urinating. Symptoms can range from mild to severe, and some women may experience recurrent thrush several times a year.
Thrush can be treated with antifungal medicines available in creams, pessaries, or oral capsules. These treatments work by stopping the growth of yeast and usually clear symptoms within a few days. For recurrent thrush, longer treatment courses or preventative measures may be recommended. You should always consult a healthcare professional to confirm it’s thrush before starting treatment, as other conditions can have similar symptoms.
Prevention tips include wearing breathable cotton underwear, avoiding tight-fitting clothing, changing out of wet swimwear promptly, limiting the use of scented soaps or vaginal douches, and maintaining good genital hygiene. If you’re prone to recurrent thrush, keeping track of triggers like diet, stress, or hormonal changes can help you take preventative action.
