Thrush is caused by a fungus called Candida albicans, causing a yeast infection. Though more associated with women, men can also develop thrush and not many men are aware of this. You can treat this infection yourself with over-the-counter-medication with specially formulated creams, gels and tablets.

55 reviews In Stock £5.49Yes, men get Thrush too. One main reason is due to a disturbance in the body's natural levels of bacteria. This disturbance can occur from taking antibiotics. Antibiotics do not distinguish between good and bad bacteria and so destroy both. Another reason is personal hygiene. As Candida thrives in moist conditions, not drying your penis completely leaves you vulnerable.
Also, Candida lives in damaged skin and perfumed shower gels can irritate the penis leaving skin vulnerable.
Symptoms usually include inflammation of the penis head, irritation, itchiness, a thick lumpy discharge below foreskin, nasty odour and pain when urinating to name a few. Luckily thrush in men is easily treated with a topical cream or tablet from Canesten or Daktarin containing clotrimazole or fluconazole.
