Thrush infections are caused by a strain of yeast known as candida albicans. These yeast cells are found naturally in your digestive system, mouth, and vagina and even on your skin in small quantities.
Thrush infections develop when the yeast cells grow out of control. This happens when the normal balance of bacteria that keeps candida in check is upset or disturbed.
What Causes a Thrush Yeast Infection?
There are many reasons why your natural balance may be disturbed:
• Hormonal imbalance - pregnancy, contraception and HRT, puberty, menstrual cycle
• Regular use of antibiotics
• Stress
• Immune deficiencies - HIV/AIDS, diabetes, chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatments
• Poor diet
What are Symptoms of Thrush Infections?
Thrush refers to yeast infection symptoms that are visible. It is worth noting though that candida albicans can affect the whole body and has a range of symptoms not automatically associated with yeast infections.
Symptoms of Thrush Yeast Infection in Women
• Redness and irritation of the labia
• Vaginal itching
• Burning sensation when passing water
• Thick vaginal discharge often resembling cottage cheese
Symptoms of Thrush Yeast Infection in Men
• Inflammation of the head of the penis
• Itching
• Possible thick "cottage cheese like" discharge
• Possibly small red spots on the head of the penis
Some men do not show usual symptoms but still carry the thrush infection. It is possible to pass thrush from partner to partner during sex BUT it is just as possible to contract thrush and not be sexually active!
Symptoms of Oral Thrush
Oral thrush is usually associated with babies or people who wear dentures. It can affect all ages.
• Raised white, cream or yellow coloured spots on the tongue. There is generally no pain but if the spots are scraped they will bleed.
• There may be an uncomfortable burning sensation in the mouth and throat
Thrush yeast infections are normally considered mild and usual. However, thrush is only the visible signs of candida albicans. Many people suffer with recurring thrush infections without realising that this could be a sign of a more serious infection or illness.
People who suffer from recurring thrush yeast infections should consult their health care professional to confirm that thrush is the correct diagnosis. With visible signs of thrush this is easily done by the health care provider taking a swab or scrapping and having it analysed. Candida shows up easily under a microscope.

Unfortunately there are a lot of AIDS/Herpes denials on Herbal cures still out there. I did research on them after I was tested HIV/Herpes positive I was so worried am I going to die soon. I continue my search again on herbal remedy for Std, then I found lots of testimony on how Dr Itua Herbal Medicine Cured HIV/Aids, Herpes Virus,Copd,HPV,Cancer, Hepatitis,Shingles, Diabetes,Epilepsy,Infertility, On websites sharing their testimonies, which made much more sense to me. All the authors pronounce Dr Itua As a man with Good Heart, I pick interest in their testimonies and I contact him about my situation then he gave me procedure how it works, I proceed after one week he courier his Herbal Medicine to me and instruct me on how to drink it for two weeks to cure. I receive His Herbal Medicine so I drank it for two weeks as I was told then after 2 days I go for a test I found out I was cured from HIV/Aids & Herpes Virus, I pay homage to him 2 months ago to his country to celebrate with him on his African festival which he told me it usually happens every year. I know there are lots of (HIV)/Aids Herpes Virus denials of Herbal Remedy movement the same few doctors and they represent a very small fraction of the community. I could have died because I refused Natural Herbs Cures for so long, but luckily, by the grace of God I am alive to tell my story.
