A vaginal yeast infection (vaginal thrush) is an extremely common cause of vaginal discharge - up to 3 in 4 women will have at least one episode during their lives. In most cases, thrush in women settles with simple treatment, either topical (applied to the vagina in the form of pessaries or antifungal creams) or oral (a tablet or tablets). However, some women either have repeated new infections, or find that they still have symptoms because the initial thrush treatment has not been effective.
