Diagnosis and treatment
Men may have a swab taken gently from under their foreskin, and women may have a swab inside the vagina. A sample of pee may be taken.
Treatment for thrush is easy. A cream is applied to the genitals and women may be given pessaries (almond shaped tablets) to insert into their vagina. Oral anti-thrush tablets are now available from some sexual health clinics, GPs or from the chemist.
You should get individual advice about having sex during treatment from your doctor, nurse or health adviser.
