Who you’ll see in Bristol
About thrush treatment
Thrush is assessed in Bristol by reviewing your symptoms and history — an examination is only needed if the diagnosis isn't clear. You'll get a clear explanation of the diagnosis and a treatment plan suited to you. Where appropriate, antifungal treatment is arranged with your pharmacy the same day. Full detail is on /conditions/thrush/.
About thrush
Thrush is a common yeast infection caused by an overgrowth of Candida, most often affecting the genital area but also the mouth and skin folds. Typical symptoms include itching, soreness, a thick white discharge (in genital thrush), and redness or irritation of the affected area. It's not usually serious and often responds well to antifungal treatment, though recurrent thrush is worth discussing with a GP.
