The presence of a white, cheesy discharge after treatment for recurrent candidiasis indicates that the infection may still be present or that a secondary infection may have occurred. Examination and treatment of the sexual partner is necessary to prevent reinfection and ongoing symptoms. Referral for excision surgery, stronger antibiotics or routine douching are not indicated in this scenario.
