What is thrush?
Thrush is a common yeast infection caused by an overgrowth of Candida albicans. It affects roughly 3 out of 4 women at some point.

Overgrowth of Candida can be linked to hormonal changes, tight clothes, perfumed products, sex, immune problems, antibiotics, and medicines such as steroids or immunosuppressants. Thrush is not an STI but can be passed on during sex.
What are the symptoms?
Symptoms vary and should be checked by a healthcare professional. They can include vaginal or vulval itch, burning or soreness, cottage-cheese-like odourless discharge, and uncomfortable sex.
Can I use vaginal treatment on my period?
No. Use creams or pessaries once your period has finished.
Will I definitely get this medicine?

How is delivery handled?
