Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about gynaecological infections
Q:What's the difference between BV and thrush?
Bacterial vaginosis causes thin, fishy-smelling discharge and is caused by bacterial imbalance. Thrush causes thick, white discharge with intense itching and is caused by yeast. Both are common but require different treatments. Accurate diagnosis is essential.
Q:Why do I keep getting thrush?
Recurrent thrush can be caused by antibiotics, diabetes, hormonal changes, tight clothing, or immune system issues. Sometimes it's not actually thrush but another condition. We'll investigate the cause and provide effective long-term management.
Q:How do I know if I have an STI?
Many STIs have no symptoms initially, which is why regular screening is important if you're sexually active. Symptoms can include discharge, pain, sores, or bleeding. Confidential testing provides peace of mind and early treatment prevents complications.
Q:Will you tell my partner?
We maintain complete confidentiality. For STIs, we'll discuss partner notification options including anonymous notification services. Treating partners is essential to prevent reinfection and protect sexual health.
