        Dr. Himanshu J. Vats

        Doctor of Medicine (MBBS) · 1.5 years of exp

        Thrush is a fungal infection caused by a type of yeast called Candida albicans. Candida is a normal inhabitant of the body, but it can grow out of control and cause an infection if the environment is right. Thrush can occur in any part of the body, but it is most common in the mouth (oral thrush) and vagina (vaginal thrush). It can also occur in the gut, on the skin, and in the bloodstream. Oral thrush is characterized by white, cottage cheese-like patches on the tongue, gums, and roof of the mouth. It can also cause pain, redness, and irritation in the mouth. Vaginal thrush is characterized by a thick, white discharge, itching, and burning in the vagina. It can also cause pain during sex.
