What is thrush?
Candida albicans is a yeast fungus that can multiply rapidly and cause symptoms in the vagina when other micro-organisms aren't present in a normal balance. Some situations which can increase susceptibility to thrush are: diabetes, obesity, illness, fatigue, hormonal fluctuations (pregnancy, menstrual cycle, oral contraceptive pill, HRT), prolonged use of antibiotics or steroids
Thrush/ Candida Symptoms
Some of the common symptoms that can signal presence of vaginal thrush are: itching and soreness around the entrance of the vagina, pain during sex, a stinging sensation when you urinate, vaginal discharge, although this not always present; the discharge is usually odourless and it can be thin and watery or thick and white like cottage cheese. The symptoms can be more severe, which may require medical attention.
