Vaginal Thrush(Candida) is a vaginal yeast infection that causes irritation of the vagina and the area around the vagina, called the vulva. The signs are extreme itchiness, burning, swelling of the vagina, pain while urinating and white vaginal discharge.

Vaginal candidiasis is a very common yeast infection of the vagina. Vaginal candidiasis is caused by a fungal microorganism called Candida albicans. Vaginal candidiasis may also be called vaginal thrush.
Classic symptoms of vaginal candidiasis include vaginal itching and a thick vaginal discharge.

The yeast infection starts when the fungus finds an environment with good conditions and not a lot of competition. At that point it changes from a relatively harmless unicellular organism into an invasive multicellular organism and starts reproducing as fast as it can, wherever it can.

Yeast Infection will affect any area where conditions are good for it, but will fail to affect areas that aren't susceptible or that it can't get to.

In other words, you can have vaginal candidiasis without getting oral candidiasis along with it, and vice versa. So it may be safe to kiss, but not have intercourse and vice versa.

A yeast infection is an overgrowth of yeast and a bacterial infection is caused by bacteria. They are not the same and do no require the same treatments. Yeasts and be helped by eating yogurt but bacterial will not. Your doctor need to determine which you have so that you get the right treatment. If your husband is not circumcised it is possible that you are passing this back and forth and he may need treated as well.
