About Vaginal Thrush:

Vaginal thrush is a common infection that most women experience at some point in their lives and is not caused by a lack of personal hygiene.

Thrush is caused by a yeast (fungus) called candida, which may live harmlessly in the vagina without you even noticing it. However, the natural pH balance of the vagina that keeps candida under control can be upset by many factors such as:

• Perfumed soaps
• Hormonal changes (menstruation, contraceptive pill, pregnancy, menopause)
• Poor health
• Antibiotics
• Bath additives
• Tight clothing

Symptoms:

If the natural pH balance is altered, the level of yeast increases and can develop into a thrush infection causing any of the following symptoms:

• Persistent burning itching around the vagina and vulva
• Redness, swelling, and soreness of the tissues of the vagina and vulva
• A whitish, odourless discharge from the vagina

Consult Your Doctor:

If your discharge is green coloured, and/or foul smelling, consult your doctor as you may have another type of infection which can be effectively treated with a different medicine.
