Thrush on the penis is a very painful and embarrassing
situation for any man afflicted with a candida penile infection. It is
also embarrassing and many men do not want to go to the doctor for fear
that he will be diagnosed with a sexually transmitted disease (like
chlamydia, gonorrhea, trichomoniasis or genital warts). This article
will describe some common symptoms that men get who have a thrush or
yeast infection of the penis along with some suggested remedies to
provide some relief.
Symptoms of thrush on the penis
Penile
thrush usually begins with a bumpy, rash that begins around the head of
the penis. The rash (if left untreated) travels around the penis -
eventually covering the entire shaft - and spreading to the scrotum and
surrounding male genitals. At this point - most men believe that they
have a case of jock itch. However, when they begin to experience burning
and pain when urinating or when having sex, they begin to wonder if
something else is going on. As the yeast infection continues to
progress, sores and lesions begin to form. These sores and blisters
eventually get further irritated and begin to crack. In very severe
cases of a male yeast fungal infection, the sores begin to bleed.
First
of all - it is important for any man to be properly diagnosed by a
medical professional before beginning any treatment for male thrush. A
doctor will most likely prescribe some antifungal treatments - either an
topical cream or oral anti-fungal medication. For many men - this will
be enough to cure the yeast infection. However for others who suffer
from frequent or recurring yeast, natural homeopathic remedies are
becoming quite popular. Examples of such remedies include garlic,
probiotics, acidophilus and tea tree oil.
