understanding vaginal thrush
Vaginal thrush, also known as a yeast infection, is a common fungal infection caused by an overgrowth of Candida species. It leads to symptoms such as itching, irritation, and changes in vaginal discharge. While often mild, it can cause significant discomfort if left untreated.
causes of vaginal thrush
Vaginal thrush can result from various factors, including:
1. Physical Causes:
- Antibiotic Use: Antibiotics can disrupt the natural balance of bacteria and yeast in the vagina, leading to an overgrowth of Candida.Â
- Hormonal Changes: Fluctuations in hormones, such as those occurring during pregnancy, menstruation, or hormone therapy, can affect vaginal flora.Â
- Diabetes: High blood sugar levels can promote yeast growth.Â
2. Lifestyle Factors:
- Diet: High sugar diets can contribute to yeast overgrowth.Â
- Clothing: Wearing tight-fitting or non-breathable underwear can create a moist environment conducive to yeast growth.
symptoms of vaginal thrush
Common symptoms include:
- Itching and irritation in the vaginal area.Â
- A thick, white, odorless discharge resembling cottage cheese.Â
- Redness and swelling of the vulva.Â
- Discomfort or pain during sexual intercourse or urination.
available treatments for vaginal thrush
1. Antifungal Creams and Pessaries:

choosing the right treatment
