Common questions about Thrush
Q. Can I use Canesten vaginally if I am pregnant?
A. Yes, but it is recommended to ask your doctor for advice before purchasing a treatment as some treatment options are not suitable in pregnancy. It is probably more important to treat thrush during pregnancy than at any other time.
Q. What happens if I get thrush when I have my period?
A. One of the causes of thrush is a change in hormone levels, which happens when you have your period. If you are menstruating you can use Canesten cream or Canesten pessaries to treat the infection or try an oral treatment like Canesoral. Your period will not affect the treatment.
Q. Can thrush be passed on to a partner during sex?
A. No. Vaginal thrush is not a sexually transmitted infection (STI). Most women get thrush as a result of their own internal changes or circumstances, not from the person they are having sex with. If your partner suspects an infection, consult your doctor or health care professional.
