Esther’s Counselling Tips:
- Thrush is a common condition which affects almost every woman at some stage in their lives
- Thrush is caused by things such as: stress, during or after a course of antibiotics, when you are run down, pregnancy, diabetes, inadequate diet, hormonal imbalance such as around the time of your menstrual cycle or a weakened immune system
- It is caused by an overproduction of yeasts which normally live in our bodies and is a harmless condition, although the symptoms can be irritating
- If this is your first time you have had thrush-like symptoms, we recommend you get it diagnosed by a doctor
- You may find it’s more convenient to insert the cream applicator at night, after showering and going to the bathroom – for 3 consecutive nights in a row
- It is important to finish the 3-day cream and applicator course even if the thrush has cleared up and to go and see a doctor if the condition has not improved by the end of the course
- SAFE to use in pregnancy or breastfeeding, although during pregnancy only insert the applicator half the way in
