Brief Answer:
yes, vaginal candidiasis...see the doctor soon.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query to healthcare magic.com

If you have been experiencing a yeast infection with a curdy white cottage cheese vaginal discharge along with constant itching then it is candida infection and needs to be treated sooner with antifungals , either pessaries or oral antifungals.
Sex has to be avoided as this is inter-transferable.
Also advised that the partner should also be treated at the XXXXXXX time.
So you may visit your physician for a per speculum exam for confirmation of diagnosis and prescription of an anti fungal course for a week.
