Genital Thrush 101
Thrush is a common yeast infection caused by an overgrowth of Candida, a fungus that naturally lives on the skin and mucous membranes. It can affect anyone with genital skin or mucosa, including people with vulvas, penises, and non-binary bodies. Thrush is not a sexually transmitted infection and is not linked to hygiene. This article explains symptoms, causes, and treatment options.
