What is Thrush?

Thrush (also known as a sweat rash in men) is caused by a yeast infection, usually the yeast called candida albicans. It can happen when naturally occurring yeasts overproduce and start to cause irritation and inflammation of the genitals. It is not a sexually transmitted infection (STI), although it can occur after having sex. If you think you have been exposed to an STI, it is important to get tested and treated for this as well.

Symptoms of thrush in women include soreness and irritation in and around the vagina, with redness and inflammation of the skin and, in more severe cases, swelling of the entrance to the vagina. A thick creamy discharge may also be present. Symptoms in men are usually less severe and can cause soreness and inflammation of the head of the penis.

Thrush in both men and women can be treated with over the counter creams and pessaries (vaginal tablets for women) or with a prescription only antifungal tablet called fluconazole. Fluconazole can be more effective than over the counter treatments and is also easier to use. You can purchase treatment if you have previously been diagnosed with thrush by a doctor or nurse and can recognise the symptoms of thrush. Our doctors can prescribe for immediate use if you currently have symptoms, or treatment for future use if you would like to be prepared for a future outbreak.

All services provided by Anytime Doctor are safe, fast and confidential. You can obtain treatment within the privacy of your home and without the inconvenience of waiting for an appointment.

All of our prices are fully inclusive. When buying your treatment online our price includes the cost of the consultation, the issuing of a private prescription, dispensing of the medicine itself, free delivery and doctor after-care. There are no hidden extras.

We aim to offer you similar pattern of healthcare as if you were to visit your normal GP for a face to face consultation. We believe it is important that you complete a medical consultation to ensure that the treatment option you are requesting is appropriate for your needs. Our GMC registered doctors are also able to suggest treatment options for you if you prefer. Once a doctor has approved you for treatment all prices are clearly displayed. Your medical consultation and registration is free and you are under no obligation to purchase any treatment after your consultation.

In order to manage some conditions online, we are required to inform your GP about the medicine you have been prescribed. This will be clearly highlighted during your consultation. We will not contact or share this information with your GP without your consent. You are required to provide consent each time you order, so you remain in full control of when we contact your GP on your behalf.

Your Anytime Doctor medical record is confidential and securely stored on our UK data servers. We will never share your details unless you expressly ask us to do so.

The symptoms of thrush vary between men and women and symptoms in men are likely to cause:

  • soreness and inflammation of the head of the penis

Symptoms in women are more varied and can include:

  • soreness and irritation in and around the vagina
  • redness and inflammation of the skin around the vagina
  • swelling of the entrance to the vagina
  • discharge that is thick, creamy, mucous or cheese like
  • burning sensation when urinating

Thrush is not classified as a sexually transmitted infection (STI), as the yeast responsible for an outbreak is found in the bodies of people without thrush symptoms. You can also develop thrush if you have not had sex. Evidence shows however that thrush can occur in sexual partners simultaneously although only one may have symptoms. Therefore it is advised that both partners are treated to prevent recurrence and further yeast imbalances.

Most infections clear up within 10 days, although thrush can reoccur and further treatment may be required in these cases. For symptoms that do not clear up within this time frame, we recommend a face to face meeting with your GP and you should consider getting an STI screen if you think you may have been exposed to sexually transmitted infections.
