Facts

• Male thrush can spread quickly and can be passed from one partner to another for years if there is not enough protection. This is because not all people have visible symptoms and can pass it on to others without realizing.
• Warm and damp areas are where yeast thrives. This is why it tends develop in the groin, and around the penis. To keep thrush at bay, loose cotton underwear can be worn.
• Thrush is distinguished from other rashes or infections by a rash that has a red border and sometimes raised white marks. These spots are often found on the penis tip or under the skin. It can cause discomfort when you urinate due to its yeast-like smell.
• Yogurt can be used to treat male thrush. The irritated skin can be soothed and healed by applying yogurt made from all-natural probiotic yogurt. Because of the good bacteria it provides, this yogurt can also help to prevent yeast infections.
• You can reduce your intake of beer, bread, barely, processed foods, and other foods that can cause thrush. This will help you to get rid of it faster and prevent future outbreaks. The more yeast you can eliminate from your diet, the easier it is to treat thrush.
• Thrush can be treated with garlic oil or crushed garlic. This natural home remedy has been used for centuries to treat all types of yeast infections.
• You can increase your chances of developing thrush by not changing out of wet swim trunks or gym clothes right away. This is a great way to prevent thrush from developing and can help you get it under control.
• Antibiotics can cause your digestive system to become depleted of good bacteria, which is necessary to prevent Candida fungus (yeast), from growing out of control. To keep your digestive system safe and healthy from yeast overgrowth, avoid unnecessary or excessive antibiotic use.
• Male thrush can only be treated with the same creams that are used to treat yeast infections in females or other fungal infections like athlete’s feet.
