About Thrush

About Thrush
What causes Thrush?
How can Thrush be managed?

Thrush is a common yeast infection caused by a type of fungus called Candida. It typically occurs in warm, moist, sugar-rich areas of the body such as the mouth and the genital area.

Oral thrush: In the mouth, it can cause white patches, redness, soreness, and possibly difficulty swallowing. It is particularly common in infants, the elderly, and people with weakened immune systems.

Vaginal thrush (yeast infection): In the genital area, most commonly in women, it can cause itching, burning, white "cottage cheese-like" discharge, and discomfort during sex or urination.

Thrush can usually be treated with antifungal medications, which can come in various forms, such as a pill, a lozenge, or a cream.

Thrush is caused by an overgrowth of Candida albicans, a yeast normally found in the body. Factors that disrupt the body's natural balance of microorganisms, such as weakened immune systems, antibiotics, steroids, diabetes, dry mouth, poor oral hygiene, and ill-fitting dentures, can contribute to thrush development.

To manage thrush:

1. Use antifungal medications as prescribed.
2. Maintain good oral hygiene.
3. Treat underlying conditions like diabetes or immune disorders.
4. Address dry mouth with hydration and sugar-free lozenges.
5. Consider dietary adjustments and probiotics.
6. Follow up with your healthcare provider for monitoring and further guidance.
