Thrush is a common infection caused by a yeast (or fungus), which may live harmlessly in the vagina without you even noticing it. However, in certain circumstances, it may develop into an infection in the vagina and symptoms may spread to the surrounding area. These symptoms may include one or more of the following: Itching of the vagina and surrounding area (the vulva) Redness and swelling of the tissues of the vagina and vulva Soreness of the vagina and vulva A white non-smelling discharge from the vagina Thrush may be aggravated by sexual intercourse, but it is not a sexually transmitted disease.

If your partner has penile thrush he may have one or more of the following symptoms: Soreness and redness of the penis Tightness of the foreskin A white non-smelling penile discharge
