Answer 2

Why do people always get so hysterical at thrush! Its basically just a yeast infection. Men get it, women get it, even tiny little babies get it. The usual sign is a white-ish discharge (like cottage cheese). It can occur in the mouth or in your private areas (anywhere warm and damp basically). It is treated by an anti-fungal cream such as Canesten. Some women also claim that applying natural yogurt to the area helps it.

It can be contagious through sex but that's not the only way to get it. Sometimes if you're wearing non cotton pants (you know the sexy slinky ones) your "bits" don't have enough room to breathe and it causes it. Maybe you're wearing too tight clothes or dressing too hot. Try to buy some loose cotton pants and get some air to your "bits" as much as you can.
You can also get a pill from the pharmacist from Canesten which you take orally instead of having to deal with putting any cream down below which is far preferable to me!

Answer 3

Thrush is NOT sexually transmitted. Don't blame your boyfriend for this, as anyone can get it and most women have it at least once in their life, even if they're not sexually active.

Its a natural yeast organism which occurs naturally within the vagina and is usually kept to very low levels by other chemicals and organisms which all keep each other 'in balance'. There are many ways that this balance can be upset, allowing the thrush (latin name is 'candida') to grow more than it should:
- taking antibiotics can sometimes kill off some beneficial bacteria that are keeping the levels of candida down.
- diet can affect the balance, for example high levels of sugar in the diet can provide the candida with extra food, thus meaning it grows more
- a lowered level of acidity in the vagina can sometimes cause candida to grow instead of the other organisms
- warm conditions promote candida growth, so summer, or warm offices, or tight clothes can make the problem worse
- some soaps or shower gels might upset the balance and allow the candida to grow more.

A single attack is easily sorted out by taking one anti-fungal tablet or a cream or pessary which kills the organism. You can just buy these from the chemist. Repeated attacks might need to be sorted out with a longer term course of tablets or a change in diet. It can be prevented by keeping your bits cool by wearing cotton undies and avoiding tights or tight trousers, or by eating natural yogurt to keep the acidity up in your vagina.

Hope that helps!

Vaginal thrush, also called yeast infection or candidiasis, is an overgrowth of yeast that leads to a range of unpleasant symptoms, such as itching and soreness around the vagina. Most women will have thrush at least once during their lives, and many will have more than one episode. But for some women, thrush keeps coming back. Recurrent thrush can affect a woman’s sex life and self-image, and may be a sign of a more serious health problem. Even if you only have thrush once, it can be extremely uncomfortable. And, if you don’t know what is happening or why, it can also be very stressful. This online leaflet explains what thrush is, what causes it, how to treat it and what you can do to help prevent it in the future.

Thrush is caused by yeast, already present in the body, which grows out of control. This yeast is almost always Candida albicans, but another, more resistant yeast, Candida glabrata, can also lead to thrush

Many women, (as well as men and children) carry yeast in and on their bodies without any problems. Yeast usually lives in the intestines, vagina, mouth and skin, where ‘friendly’ bacteria help keep yeast levels low. When this balance is disrupted, however, and the yeast is allowed to grow unchecked, it causes havoc in the body.

The vagina is one of the areas most likely to be affected by thrush. Although the vagina is generally too acidic for yeast to grow out of control, it is sensitive to small changes and can easily become an ideal environment for yeast to flourish. Too much yeast irritates the vaginal tissues and this leads to the typical symptoms of thrush.

Symptoms

The telltale signs of thrush include itching, burning, soreness, swelling of the vagina and vulva (outer area of the vagina), and a yeasty-smelling discharge. You may have one symptom or several, and symptoms can range from mild to severe.

Itching and burning

These are the most common symptoms of thrush and often the most distressing. Burning and itching can be so intense it is difficult to resist scratching, but scratching will only make the problem worse.

Soreness, swelling and pain

Thrush irritates the delicate tissue of the vagina and genital area, making it sore, swollen and red. As a result, it may be painful to urinate (urine will sting the inflamed tissue). It may also be painful to have sex. In some cases, anything that touches or rubs the area, including sitting and walking, can be painful.

Discharge

Discharge caused by thrush is usually (but not always) white and thicker than a woman’s regular discharge. The ‘typical’ discharge linked to thrush is yoghurt-like in appearance and smells strongly of yeast. Some women, however, have a watery or mild-smelling discharge. The amount can also vary from a little to a lot.

You can get Thrush if you have been on anti-biotics because they kill the good bacteria in your body.

Answer 5

Hey i know you only wanted women..but..depending on the type of Thrush Oral or Vaginal

If its Vaginal..then it may simply be a yeast infection...your a woman, it happens. it could also be Cystitis which is often mistaken for Thrush. The main cause of cystitis (and other urinary tract infections) is bacteria known as coliform bacteria, which are a common occupant of the bowel. and can actually be
acquired by vigorous and prolonged sexual activity.

The cayuse is generally a Fungus which is found naturally in the mouth and can act up if you are pregnant or using oral contraceptives or other steroid type drugs that disturb the natural balance of the body.. in short don't worry..treat it and it will go away

Answer 6

I'm not a doctor but thrush is caused by yeast in the body. It is not an STD. It is contagious though, me an d my husband years ago kept passing it back and forth. I get get thrush if I use Tampax, so it can be caused by anything. They say to wear cotton knickers, and not wear tights.

Answer 7

Thrush is just a fungal infection. It can be passed from one person to another, but it can happen spontaneously, when your balance of acids in your 'bits' are out of kilter. Go to a pharmacy and ask for Canestan Combi - it's a pessary which you insert, and a cream to ease the itching. Ask your boyfriend to apply some too, to stop it being passed back to you.

Answer 8

Thrush is a yeast infection which you usually get in your vagina or mouth.
It can be caused by many things from too tight underwear, too much yeast in diet, perfume based bath oils etc so although it can be passed on sexually you can also just get it from everyday things. Make sure you get it properly cleared up before having sex or you and your partner will just be passing it between you.

Answer 9

My infant son has this and I just put some organic apple cider vinegar on his rash. Just mix it with some water. Yogurt is also something that you can use to get rid of thrush(yeast infection) without drugs.

Answer 10

You can get thrush from antibiotics, from an allergy to certain bubble baths, from over-active sex or just because there is an imbalance in your body. It is easily fixed with either tablets of cream and eating a bio yogurt a day will help avoid it in future.

You should probably apologise to your boyfriend as its not normally sexually transmitted I'm afraid.

Answer 11

Thrush is a yeast infection it is not an STD it is caused by an over production of fungus in your vagina. There are plenty of over the counter creams. One way you can get this from taking antibiotics.
