Thanks for contacting with your health concern

1. vaginal discharge could either be physiological [common during puberty, menstruation, sexual excitement,pregnancy] or pathological Leucorrhea i.e.[yeast infection, mixed infection] so it is wise to consult an OB & GYN doctor who will do a P.V. [per vaginum] and P.S. [per speculum] examination to note the type of discharge,and look for pathologies like cervical erosion, fibroid,polyp, PID [pelvic inflammatory disease]

2. PS. since thick discharge may also be a sign of pregnancy thus check with UPT [urine pregnancy test]

3. If UPT cpmes out to be negative then it could be mixed vaginal infection i.e.: bacterial+fungal+ trichomonal thus you might have to take a prescribed course of antibiotic kit and anti fungal medication both for husband & wife and a medicated pessary for yourself and gel for male partner.

PS. since candidial infection is common in diabetic patients [check with blood sugar], patient taking broad spectrum antibiotics, patients on oral contraceptives and AIDS thus exclude the same.
