Canesten Thrush Internal Prefilled Applicator 10% 5g Pack

What is it
Thrush or vaginal candidiasis are the general and medical terms used to describe a common vaginal yeast infection. Thrush occurs when there is an overgrowth of Candida albicans (yeast-like fungus) in your vagina. This occurs when the good bacteria in your vagina can’t keep the fungus (Candida albicans) under control, creating a suitable environment for Candida albicans to increase.
Just so you know, thrush is not a sexually transmitted infection. It can be really uncomfortable, but in the majority of cases it’s simple to treat.
Everyone is different, so your symptoms may differ from a friend’s. They may also change each time you get thrush, so watch out for these common symptoms and whether your symptoms are mild, moderate or more complicated.
Most people experience symptoms such as:
An itchy vagina / vulva
Soreness around the entrance to your vagina (vulva)
Slight swelling of your vaginal lips (labia)
Cottage cheese-like white discharge
These symptoms aren’t uncommon:
Pain during sex
Thick discharge
Red and swollen labia
Burning around your vulva
Pain when you urinate
Sores in your vaginal area
Cracked skin around your vulva

Directions
Wash your hands before and after inserting the cream
Insert the contents of the pre-filled applicator into the vagina, preferably at night so that it can work while you sleep.
If symptoms persist for more than 7 days, consult your doctor.
