Time for the science bit..

 

Thrush, also known as candida or candidosis, is a yeast infection caused by the Candida species of fungus, usually Candida albicans.

 

Many women are affected by vaginal thrush at some point in their lives and in some women it may recur regularly. The condition develops when Candida albicans, which is often present in the vagina, causes itching, irritation, discharge, redness, soreness and swelling of the vagina and vulva.

 

Oral thrush, also caused by Candida albicans, is a common fungal infection in babies. It can affect feeding, but is easily treated. 

 

In people who have reduced immunity, such as those with leukaemia  or  diabetes mellitus, or people who are on a prolonged course of antibiotics or use intravenous drugs, the fungus sometimes spreads into the blood and the blood and if left untreated, it can spread throughout the body, causing a serious severe infection. Typical organs that can be affected include the brain, eye, liver and heart.
