Thrush can be a highly uncomfortable and even embarrassing condition. Yet, thrush is very common and affects around 75% of women at some point in their life.
A common misconception of thrush is that it is a sexually transmitted infection, however this isn’t true. Thrush is actually a yeast infection caused by an overgrowth of the yeast Candida albicans. The infection has a number of attributing factors, most common of which are: antibiotic or oral contraceptive use, menstruation changes, pregnancy, diabetes, as well as various other deficiencies and immune system disorders.
There are a number of symptoms associated with thrush, including: swelling of the vagina; vaginal discomfort – commonly resulting in an itchy or burning sensation; genital skin splitting; creamy, white discharge with a yeast smell and a ‘cottage cheese’ look; and discomfort during urination.
