Vaginal Thrush Treatments at Murrays Chemist in Harrow
Thrush is a common but uncomfortable condition that many women experience. It is caused by a yeast infection and can lead to itching, soreness, and abnormal discharge.
At Murrays Chemist, we offer a discrete and professional service, providing both over-the-counter and prescription treatments to help you find relief quickly.
What is Vaginal Thrush?
Vaginal thrush is a yeast infection caused by an overgrowth of Candida, a fungus that naturally exists in small amounts in the vagina. When the balance of bacteria and yeast is disrupted, it can multiply, leading to infection.
Symptoms of Vaginal Thrush:
- Thick, white, cottage cheese-like discharge (usually odourless)
- Itching, soreness, or burning sensation in the vaginal area
- Discomfort during urination or sex
- Redness and swelling around the vagina
Who is More Likely to Get Thrush?
Vaginal thrush is not classified as a sexually transmitted infection (STI), but certain factors increase the risk:
- Taking antibiotics (which disturb the natural balance of bacteria)
- Pregnancy (hormonal changes can trigger an overgrowth)
- Diabetes (higher sugar levels can encourage yeast growth)
- Weakened immune system (due to medications or health conditions)
