STRESS....AND THRUSH Dec 16, 2003 Hi doctor Horwath, I was wondering if stress causes thrush, I heard that it did but wasn't sure, if stress causes thrush; would the thrush caused by stress still bleed when you brushed it? THANK YOU |

 Thrush is a Candidal infection, which is caused by failure of the immune system to protect against fungal infections. It is not caused by stress. However, stress can contribute to health problems in a number of ways. Severe stress can contribute to insomnia, exhaustion, and other problems that affect one's health. | ||||||||
