What is breast candidiasis?
Breast thrush is a very common occurrence during breastfeeding.
It is an infection, a mycosis to be precise, caused by the fungus Candida albicans.
We are talking about the same pathogen that causes vaginal candidiasis during pregnancy .
As soon as symptoms appear, it is essential to proceed promptly with treatment of both the mother and the newborn, to avoid the healing process being long and difficult.
