Symptoms of candida are; itching, redness and swelling in the genital area and thick white discharge that looks like spoilt milk. If left untreated candida can become very painful. Treatment is with antifungal creams or tablets from a doctor. Candida yeast grows quicker in sugar, so eating less sugar can help it go away. Having good vagina/penile hygiene can also help cure it. Candida symptoms are similar to signs of other infections so get tested by a doctor to get correct diagnosis and treatment.
