Sometimes however, thrush can be passed to your partner through sexual intercourse. 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 BEFORE YOU USE THIS MEDICINE This medicine can be used by adults between the ages of 16 and 60 years.
