How do I know it’s thrush?
6 main symptoms:
Itching
Swelling
Redness
Unusual discharge
Burning
Soreness
Thrush doesn't usually change the pH level and has no odour.
No Stress!
It may feel uncomfortable, but there’s no need to be scared. Thrush is not an STI or a serious condition and in most cases it can be treated easily and effectively. It is also normal and very common – 3 in 4 women suffer from it at least once during their lifetime and it’s not caused by a lack of hygiene.

Can men get thrush?
It’s less common than in women, but men can also suffer from thrush symptoms
