Sexual Health Blog Articles
Gain insight into common sexual health conditions and telehealth
What causes thrush?
Thrush is caused by an overgrowth of the fungus Candida albicans, which naturally lives in small amounts in the body. Factors like antibiotics, hormonal changes, diabetes, a weakened immune system, or high-sugar diets can trigger this overgrowth.
Is thrush a sexually transmitted infection (STI)?
Thrush is not typically classified as an STI, but it can occasionally be passed between sexual partners. It’s more commonly caused by non-sexual factors like medication or health conditions.
What are the common symptoms of thrush?
Symptoms include itching or burning in the genital area, thick white discharge (in vaginal thrush), redness or soreness, discomfort during urination or sex, and white patches in the mouth (for oral thrush).
How can Teldoc Australia help with thrush?
Teldoc offers convenient online consultations where you can speak to a doctor via phone or video. If needed, we provide electronic referrals for testing and antifungal prescriptions if clinically appropriate, with bulk billing and Medicare rebates available for eligible patients.
How long does it take to treat thrush?
With proper treatment, such as antifungal creams or oral medications, symptoms often improve within a few days. Complete recovery typically takes 7-14 days, depending on the severity and treatment plan.
Can thrush go away on its own?
Mild cases may resolve without treatment, but untreated thrush can persist or worsen, leading to discomfort or complications. It’s best to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.
How can I prevent thrush?
To reduce the risk of thrush, maintain good hygiene, avoid tight clothing, limit sugar intake, and use antibiotics only when necessary. Probiotics and a balanced diet may also help.
Is an online consultation as effective as an in-person visit?
Yes, our doctors can assess your symptoms, provide testing referrals, and prescribe treatments online if clinically appropriate. For most cases of thrush, a phone or video consultation is just as effective as an in-person visit.
How quickly can I get an appointment with Teldoc?
You can normally speak to a doctor within 15 minutes of booking during business hours, with appointments available 7 days a week.
Is my consultation private?
Absolutely. Teldoc Australia ensures all consultations are confidential, allowing you to discuss your health concerns discreetly from the comfort of your home.
Are consultations covered by Medicare or bulk billed?
Yes, Bulk billing is available for patients facing privacy concerns or limited access to local services. Bulk billing (free consultations) requires a valid Medicare card. Patients can still book a private fee consultation for vaginal thrush treatment if they are not eligible for Medicare rebates.
