What is Thrush?

It can happen to anyone – around 75% of women will experience it at least once in their lives, while many women may suffer from recurrent thrush. See your doctor if you have had more than two infections of thrush in the last six months.

Both fungus and bacteria naturally live in your vagina, but when the fungus Candida albanicans overgrows it can cause thrush. This can happen when your immune system is weak or when good bacteria (lactobacilli) can’t keep the fungus under control.

Common symptoms:

  • An itchy vagina/vulva
  • Soreness around the entrance to your vagina
  • Slight swelling of your vaginal lips
  • SIDE BAR
