Tips
- Always see your doctor before attempting to treat a suspected thrush infection. They can examine you and determine whether your symptoms are being caused by thrush or something else. Your doctor will recommend an appropriate treatment based on their diagnosis.Thanks
- If you’re experiencing itching and vaginal discharge, it’s also possible that you have a sexually transmitted infection. If you’re sexually active and your doctor has ruled out a yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis, ask them to test you for STIs that may cause similar symptoms.Thanks
- Not all vaginal secretions are a sign of a thrush infection. You may be experiencing some other type of infection, or you may be seeing your normal and healthy vaginal secretions. Work with your doctor to figure out what is normal for you.Thanks
