Oral thrush, also known as candidiasis, is a common fungal infection affecting the mouth and throat. It's characterized by white, creamy patches that can be painful or uncomfortable. In this video, Dr. Ornat Vasiliy, a gastroenterologist from Izyaslav, Ukraine, provides a visual guide to identifying oral thrush using images from a gastroscopy. "You can easily see the white, cheesy patches characteristic of the infection," explains Dr. Ornat. The gastroscopy images clearly show the affected areas, making it easier for individuals to recognize the symptoms.
