Thrush & Intimate Irritation

 
What Is Thrush?
 
Thrush is an infection caused by a yeast called Candida. This yeast normally lives in your body quite happily without doing you any harm. But when the natural pH balance of your vagina is upset - which can easily happen - Candida can multiply. And that's when you may start to itch and develop thrush.
 
Who Gets Thrush?
 
Don't worry or be embarrassed about having thrush, as thrush is much more common than you might think - 3 out of 4 women have it at some point in their lives, especially if they are under the age of 20 or pregnant, and it is commonly suffered around the time of a period.
 
Men are not immune. They can get thrush too, though only a few develop the rash and itchiness. Most male sufferers act as carriers, without actually having the symptoms. To help prevent re-infection, make sure your partner uses Canesten Thrush Cream as well as you.
 
What Are The Symptoms Of Thrush?
 
The main symptom - and by far the most irritating - is the itching. You may also feel a burning soreness and this can be accompanied by a whitish odourless discharge.
 
Though very uncomfortable, these symptoms can be sorted out quickly and easily, by treating at the site of infection as well as soothing the irritation.
 
Most women seek help for relief of external itching. However, it is important that the infection is treated internally as well as externally, to prevent symptoms from returning.
 
What Is Intimate Irritation?
 
Over 50% of women suffer from intimate vaginal irritation and discomfort. One of the triggers can be using perfumed soaps and shower gels which alter the natural pH of your vagina, leaving you more susceptible to thrush.
 
That is why Canesten have developed ‘Care by Canesten' Wash and Wipes which are soap and fragrance free as well as pH balanced.
 
This special range of products for everyday intimate care is:
 
  • Soap-free and fragrance-free
  • Gynaecologically tested
 
Care by Canesten Feminine Wash can be used for daily intimate washing and Care by Canesten Feminine Wipes for convenient and discreet freshening. They have been specially designed to help you feel fresh and confident without causing irritation.
