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.

What are the symptoms of thrush?

Symptoms in women are more varied and can include:

Does my sexual partner need treatment for thrush?
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.
How soon will my thrush symptoms go away?
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.
