What Causes Thrush?

4. Hygiene
Another potential contributor to thrush is hygiene or lack thereof, and this applies to both oral and genital hygiene. Make sure that you brush and wash regularly, making sure that you thoroughly dry yourself after showering or bathing. As mentioned, also make sure that your clothing is clean, and also make sure that you use towels that are clean and dry.
While poor hygiene can make thrush more likely, that does not automatically mean that people with thrush are not hygienic. Even the cleanest of people can experience it and those living in humid climates are more likely to have problems.
