Vaginal thrush cream
Your doctor may prescribe pills, suppositories or a special vaginal thrush cream that both removes the symptoms and reduces the number of yeast cells that cause vaginal thrush. Vaginal thrush is a very uncomfortable condition that causes itching and burning of the vaginal opening, pain during intercourse and urination, and vaginal discharge.
Most women will experience vaginal thrush one or more times in their lives. This is usually in connection with a penicillin or other antibiotic treatment. This reduces the number of lactic acid bacteria in the vagina that keep the yeast fungus in check. It can also happen if you have a weakened immune system or diabetes.

Symptoms or vaginal thrush
Although vaginal thrush is generally a fairly harmless condition that won't cause you any reproductive problems, the symptoms of vaginal thrush are numerous. Itching and burning at the vaginal opening are among the most common symptoms, as is pain during urination and intercourse. Finally, a change in vaginal discharge can also occur.
If you notice any of these symptoms, you should see your doctor.
Sex and vaginal thrush
Although most people don't feel like it, you can still have sex even if you have vaginal thrush. The yeast that causes vaginal yeast can be transmitted to your sexual partner, but only very rarely causes problems. Only during oral sex can he develop oral thrush.
Treatment of thrush in the vagina
If you experience symptoms of vaginal thrush, you should contact your doctor. Your doctor can prescribe either suppositories, pills or a cream to treat vaginal thrush. A vaginal thrush treatment is usually very effective and often cures the condition in a short period of time.
However, even if the vaginal thrush is cured this time, it's no guarantee that it's gone for good. Around half of all women experience multiple episodes of vaginal thrush throughout their lives, and some women experience recurring episodes of vaginal thrush several times a year.
Good hygiene and the right products, such as a good intimate soap, are important in the fight against intimate discomfort.
