Question 1

how long does thrush last in men?

Accepted Answer

Abnormal: Thrush is abnormal and if you have it you should see your doctor.  It is associated with immune compromised states and steroid use.

Question 2

could men use live yogurt to treat male thrush?

Accepted Answer

Not the best...: Yogurt is used by some women to prevent Bacterial vaginosis and sometimes yeast infections (thrush). It really isn't a great treatment for thrush in either men or women.  A topical yeast cream (over the counter) or oral medication prescribed by your doctor is the best treatment.  Best wishes!

Question 3

hi there can nystaform be used for 14 days in men with thrush?

Accepted Answer

Need more info: If nystatin has not gotten rid of your problem then you need to have your physician take a second look as to why you are not cured. Maybe your problem is not thrush or you need a different drug.

Question 4

how do you get rid of thrush in men?

Accepted Answer

Oral antifungals: This can be managed with mouthwashing using topical antifungals.  The problem is that normal adults do not usually get thrush unless they are diabetic, on antibiotics, steroids, or have some impairment of their immune system.  Any adult needing treatment for thrush or having difficulty clearing it should be tested for HIV among other things.

Question 5

can thrush in men effect penis opening?

Accepted Answer

Here are some...: Thrush is referred to the lesion of yeast mucosal infection. Yeast infection in a long tight foreskin is common, especially in one with inadequate topical hygiene and poorly controlled diabetes; if yes, it involves almost the whole glans penis and foreskin, called balanoposthitis and it unlikely affects the opening (meatus) alone. More? Seek pro-evaluation timely.

Question 6

what does thrush look like on the penis and how does men know if they have thrush on their penis ?

Accepted Answer

Penis lesions-STDS: Thrush- refers to a yeast infection- in men also known as jock itch. If  your partner has any kind of sore on their penis, scrotum or groin, best that they be seen right away by a doctor/np/pa. Some people can have a sexually transmitted disease without a sore. Condoms and dental dams can reduce risk of getting a sexually transmitted disease. Also have yourself checked- women often have no symptoms.

Question 7

is masturbating harmful for men suffering from thrush?  how can thrush be treated (i took pills and cream and its not working)?

Accepted Answer

Get an exam: It may not be thrush, so important to know before you attempt to self treat this condition.

Question 8

i've seen images of thrush in men and im not sure how to tell if i could have it, my penis kind of looks like some of the images i have seen?

Accepted Answer

Not sure...: For the time being, keep the penis clean, ventilating and dry without overjealous use of soap or detergent, and see. 

If any doubt, see and talk with someone knowledgeable and commonsensical timely. 

Best luck...

Question 9

hi can thrush in men make u dribble when passing urine?

Accepted Answer

Can happen: with penile irritation that can occur with thrush

Question 10

hi there can having a salt bath heal up  penis thrush in men?

Accepted Answer

May help, no cure: Most fungal/yeast infections (thrush) of the penis are under the foreskin, causing balanitis (inflammation of the head of the penis). Retracting the foreskin and washing with soap and water a couple times a day often is efffective. A &quot;salt bath&quot; might help as part of such a hygiene program, but in itself won&#x27;t cure yeast. If these steps don&#x27;t clear it up, see a doctor for antifungal treatment.
