Key points

  • Thrush is not a sexually transmitted infection, despite affecting a genital area.
  • Hormonal stage may influence risk, and it is more often seen after puberty and before the menopause.
  • Similar symptoms can have different causes, so candidiasis should not be assumed from symptoms alone.
