Thrush,yeast infection or candidiasis - call it what you like it's the same thing and is a problem for millions of women every year. When a totally natural fungus which is present in the body excessively grows it turns to thrush (this is most commonly associated with women). Pain, irritation, itchyness and a cottage cheese like discharge is not uncommon to sufferers of thrush.
Over three quarters of the human population have the natural fungus - candida albicans - in their bodies along with countless others. The develpoment of thrush from this natural fungus is not exclusive to the vagina but can also be present in stomach, mouth and colon. When there is no abundance of this natural fungus there is no threat at all to the human body.
Despite yeast infections / thrush being associated with the female genital area, it can also be found in the genital area of men. Both sexes can originate the infection and both can transmit it also. The thinking that men can catch thrush from women only is a myth.
Thrush is not a serious problem but if left untreated it can cause major discomfort. In some instances, thrush can also lead to a much serious condition. This is why anyone who thinks that they are suffering from thrush must immediately seek medical advice. Thrush, must never be ignored.
Infections need to be treated. Most infections relating to the vagina if left untreated can only worsen your problem. Symptoms such as irritation and inflammation can spread to the buttocks.

This strategy must be approached with caution as a certain amount of yeast is naturally required for a healthy vagina in the first place. Trying to second guess how much you have in your body is a little risky for some. Plus, if you already have thrush then preventative measures are a little late in the day and a cure is required.
