Thrush Symptoms

What are the symptoms of thrush in women and men?  What about oral thrush and thrush or candida yeast infection affecting babies?  We’ve listed the main symptoms of each of these below.

Thrush Symptoms in Women

The symptoms of thrush are typically noticeable by sight (you can see them), smell (you can smell them) and by feeling.  As you would expect none of the symptoms are desirable and to be honest can be very uncomfortable and potentially embarrassing.

In women the most common thrush symptoms are itchiness, burning sensation and soreness of the vagina and vulva.  There may be a white/yellow yeasty-smelling discharge from the vagina and you may either have one symptom or several of the symptoms at any one time and symptoms can vary in severity from mild to severe.

It is often useful to look at pictures and photographs of the condition to compare against.  To check out some of the pictures of yeast infection on this site click here.
