About vaginal thrush
Vaginal thrush is a very common problem affecting women of all ages. It has nothing to do with poor hygiene. It is often caused by a fungus (Candida albicans) that is present in everybody. The fungus is normally kept in check by the body’s defences.
Sometimes the fungus can become a problem due to:
• Recent use of antibiotics
• Pregnancy
• Use of oral contraceptives
• Wearing tight clothing
• Over use of hot baths and bath additives
You can prevent infections coming back by:
• Washing the infected area in the morning and evening with plain, warm water. It is important that you dry thoroughly
• Wiping backwards (away from the vagina) after visiting the toilet
• Not using medicated and perfumed bath additives
• Not wearing tight clothing
