What Is Thrush?

5. Spreads
Although painful, and maybe also embarrassing, thrush is still usually quite harmless. However, it should still be treated as soon as possible because it can get worse, and it could even cause some potentially severe problems. It can even spread to the body’s organs, and this could leave the patient in rather a lot of difficulty.
If candida is allowed to get out of control, it can spread to the liver, the lungs, and the skin. Most people won’t experience this but it can occur in people who have a weakened immune system, such as those who have cancer or HIV.
