Is thrush dangerous?

Nerve damage caused by thrush
Dangers of thrush:

​

In short, yes, as thrush can lead to nerve damage of your vulva vestibule and a chronic pain condition that can be very hard to treat. 

​

If you are experiencing frequent thrush infections (have had more than 5 episodes in a lifetime), this needs to be treated seriously. Consult a vulvar dermatologist or vulvar pain clinic and discuss how you can get your infection rate down to an absolute minimum. 

​

We provide lots of information in our 'Minimising Infections' section.
