Yes, the changes in hormones within the female body can increase the risk of developing yeast infections, especially thrush. The decrease in oestrogen during menopause can lead to a thinner vaginal lining and decreased acidity in the vagina, creating an environment where yeast can overgrow. This may result in symptoms like itching, burning, and abnormal discharge.
If you are experiencing thrush during menopause, you should speak to your GP or pharmacist. You can also order treatment online such as Fluconazole.
