What is thrush?
Thrush is a common infection that mast women have at some time in their lives and is not caused by a lack of personal hygiene.

Thrush is caused by a yeast (fungus) called Candida which may live harmlessly in the vagina without you even noticing it. However the natural pH balance of the vagina that keeps Candida under control can be upset by many factors such as hormonal changes (menstruation, contraceptive pill, pregnancy, menopause), poor health, antibiotics, perfumed soaps, bath additives and tight clothing

For more serious symptoms you should visit your GP.
