A member asked:
Do i have candidal balanitis or thrush?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very different: Balanitis is swelling that occurs on the glans (end of) your penis and thrush occurs in the mouth. Thrush is always caused by a fungus or yeast, while balanitis may be caused by the same candidal species but not always. In either case treatment is warranted.
