Lesson Candidiasis (thrush, yeast infection)
en español

How is candidiasis diagnosed?

Most of the time, a doctor can diagnose candidiasis simply by looking in the mouth, at the back of the throat, or in the vagina. Sometimes it is necessary to scrape the overgrowth so that a sample can be sent to a lab.

X-rays and a special scope – called an endoscope – are used to look for candidiasis down the throat.
