Candidiasis is predominantly identified in women. Male partners are usually asymptomatic but can develop ballanitis.

Women might notice:

• Nothing – some are silent
• Pruritus (itching)
• vaginal soreness, and redness or swelling
• pain during sex (dyspareunia),
• pain passing urine (dysuria)
• abnormal vaginal discharge (usually curdy thick and white)

Men might notice:

• Nothing – usually assymptomatic
• Rarely - ballanitis, which is characterized by red areas on the top (glans) of the penis in conjunction with pruritus or irritation.
