Thrush may be a regular nuisance for some women, while others never experience this infection. If you are taking antibiotics, are pregnant, going through menopause or are on the contraceptive pill you are more susceptible to this infection. But it can easily affect any woman at any stage in their life – many find it unnecessarily embarrassing.
Vaginal thrush (candida infection) is caused by an overgrowth of yeast called Candida albicans. Candida albicans lives quite harmlessly in our bodies until something upsets the body’s natural pH balance. This causes Candida albicans to multiply and symptoms of thrush to appear.
Women, who are HIV-positive, have diabetes or other immuno-compromising conditions, are more likely to experience infections. Some women also get vaginal thrush just before or just after their periods. Antibiotics can cause vaginal thrush, while tight-fitting pants or underwear made of synthetic fabric, heavily perfumed vaginal deodorants, bubble baths or certain soaps, can also aggravate your body’s normal flora and cause thrush.
Thrush infections can occur in many different sites but vaginal thrush is the most common. Vaginal discharge changes into a thick white consistency, like cottage cheese. Other symptoms may include itching, a burning sensation when urinating, soreness around the vagina, or pain during sexual intercourse. These signs all indicate that you may have a vaginal thrush infection. Your first instinct maybe to scratch, but this will only make the symptoms worse.
However, help is at hand. Community pharmacists are well equipped to diagnose and provide advice on treatment for vaginal thrush. They stock a variety of treatments ranging from antifungal vaginal creams to oral medication. Treatment will vary depending on the person. Ask your pharmacist about the best options for you.
Thrush can be prevented by ensuring your body is in peak condition. Try to steer clear of stress and don’t let yourself get run down. You can also:
If you are experiencing your first vaginal thrush infection you need to see your doctor. Symptoms such as green discharge, pain in your stomach or an unpleasant smell, can indicate something more serious and you should see your doctor as soon as possible.
When you step into a pharmacy, you expect more than just shelves of products. You want support, knowledge, and a familiar face. At Family Pharmacy Granville, we believe a pharmacy should feel like part of your everyday life. Like a trusted neighbour who’s always there when you need them.
We are not just a chemist or a warehouse. We are part of your community. And we’re proud to support your health, your family, and your future with genuine care.
A community pharmacy is about people, not just prescriptions. It is a place where locals come for honest answers, everyday health solutions, and friendly service. Whether you are picking up your regular medication, asking about a new script, or looking for relief from seasonal allergies, we are here to help with practical advice you can count on.
At Family Pharmacy Granville, we serve more than just customers. We support families from all walks of life. Our team takes the time to listen, explain and recommend what is best for you. It is this personalised approach that sets a real pharmacy apart from the rest.
In a busy world filled with large chain stores and self-serve checkouts, the local touch is often missing. But health is personal. It affects your body, your peace of mind, and the people you love. That is why community pharmacies still matter.
Our Granville team understands the cultural diversity, languages and family dynamics that make this area unique. We help grandparents understand new medications. We explain side effects in simple terms. We work with local GPs to ensure your care is connected and consistent.
That is the role of a true community pharmacy. And it is a role we take seriously.
Being a chemist is more than stocking shelves. It means being prepared, being patient, and being present. Every interaction with our pharmacists and staff is based on respect, privacy and professional standards. We follow strict AHPRA guidelines so you always receive ethical and evidence-informed information.
We are also proud to offer essential pharmacy services like prescription dispensing, Webster-paks for easier medication management, health advice, and home delivery options for eligible patients. These services are designed to make your life easier, safer and more manageable.
As a family-owned and operated pharmacy, we understand the pressures families face. Health issues do not always come with a warning. Kids get fevers at night, pain can flare up on weekends, and stress doesn’t wait for business hours. That is why our team is ready with solutions that are practical and accessible.
Whether you need over-the-counter relief, a quick chat with a pharmacist, or help choosing the right baby care product, we’re here to guide you through it with care and compassion.
Our pharmacy is built on values that never go out of style — trust, reliability, and a genuine interest in your well-being. We are not just a chemist or a warehouse. We are your local pharmacy. And we are proud to be part of your journey, every step of the way.
