Penile Thrush Infection

It may sound scary to many men, and let’s face it many men do not even know that they can develop a yeast infection, but many men do develop yeast infections and probably the most common of which is the penile thrush infection.

It would be fair to say though that men do not suffer as much as women when they develop a yeast infection, the symptoms are not usually as severe and treatment is usually quite straightforward and simple.

Most male thrush infections are caused by having sex with an infected partner, although taking anti biotics and having a weakened immune system can also lead to thrush infections in men.

The issue with a penile thrush infection is that the symptoms presented are often very similar to the symptoms of many sexually transmitted diseases, so it can be quite difficult for the male to know whether or not he has a thrush infection. These symptoms include a strong itching feeling on the penis, along with a burning sensation and usually a rash will appear on the head of the penis.

If you are in any doubt that you have an STD and not a thrush infection then you should visit a clinic and get tested. If you are confident that it is a yeast infection (maybe your partner knows she has a thrush infection) you can visit a pharmacist and try an over the counter treatment. Any creams that you may think are meant for treating women, will usually be just as effective for treating men. Just follow the directions and if the infection persists then a visit to a doctor will be required.
