Vaginal Thrush

Thrush doesn’t need to take over your life!
Many women assume that any form of vulval or vaginal irritation or soreness is due to vaginal thrush, but this is not necessarily the case. Equally, the temporary response to over-the-counter remedies does not confirm that the symptoms were caused by thrush.
Late Miscarriage

Late term miscarriage is devastating but with a thorough investigation and treatment it can be avoided in the future.
Unfortunately, very few centres invest enough time and resources into finding out the reasons why some women have a late miscarriage and without this information, there is a high risk of recurrence.
