What is vaginal thrush?

Women get lot of problems and they do big mistake when they hide their common diseases. Similarly thrush is very common infection in vagina.Vaginal thrush is a common infection caused by an overgrowth of Candida albicans yeast. This
yeast lives naturally in the bowel and in small numbers in the vagina. It is mostly harmless, butsymptoms can develop if yeast numbers increase. About 75 per cent of women will have vaginal thrush in their lifetime. Other names for this infection are candidiasis or monilia.
Symptoms can include vaginal itching or burning, a white discharge and stinging or burning whileurinating. Vaginal creams or vaginal tablets (pessaries) can help reduce the symptoms of thrush.Thrush can also occur in other parts of the body, such as the mouth.
