My partner does not suffer from thrush we live together so we would know if he had it so dont think it is him

Doubtful. If you are sexually active, you are picking it up from someone who isn't treating it.

Thrush?? That is typically oral, as far as I know. That is a candida (yeast) overgrowth.
It sounds to me like you have some sort of yeast/fungal infection going on down there.
I would stop eating bread for right now, cut out sugars and mushrooms, and don't take any antibiotics, esp if they have penicylin in them.
You need to keep that area super clean and dry, change underwear several times a day. Wash them in hot water, with bleach.
Call your doctor. You need either lamssyl or nystatin, which are great antifungals.
Also, eat plenty of yoghurt, and take garlic supplements. They have natural antifungal properties.
Abstain from sex until you are clear. Let as much air get to the area as possible.

Is your partner "circumcised"? If he is he could be harboring the fungus without knowing it. A "circumcised" male is just as likely to have thrush as a complete male, he just will not have it bad enough to notice the infection, thrush will very quickly drive a complete male into getting treated.

you say your partner does not suffer with thrush she could have it without symptoms if you both use the medication together you will stay clear. What have you got to lose if you try it

some times thrush can be brought on by antibiotics but if this keeps happening i suggest you see your GP all the best

Thrush is a yeast infection, you should go to the doctor who will give you cream or tablet.

you can get thrush from using perfumed products like bath stuff and soap down below. try using unscented and see if it works

Your partner may not show or suffer from any symptoms but may still be infecting you! You infect him, you clear it up on you but then reinfect yourself when you get intimate with him. Both of you should take the treatment and guarantee that you both are clear prior to any sexual activity.

You don't have thrush, you have a smegma problem. Circumcission might be a good idea. Good luck with that.
