Treatment of thrush in men at home

In order to determine how to treat thrush, you need to clearly understand what this disease is, as well as understand the mechanism of its occurrence and maintenance. Thus, thrush can be characterized as a fungal disease caused by fungi of the genus Candida. Therefore, the disease is often called candidiasis. The peculiarity of the causative agents of the disease is that they are representatives of the normal microflora of the urogenital tract. They belong to opportunistic microorganisms, which normally provide protection of the body from pathogenic microorganisms, maintaining the colonization resistance of the mucous membranes.

However, when immunity is reduced, opportunistic microorganisms are activated, their active growth occurs, and they colonize the entire mucous membrane, sharply increasing their numbers. Dysbacteriosis develops. This leads to a further decrease in endurance and resistance of the body to infectious diseases. If the number of representatives of the genus Candida increases sharply, a fungal disease develops - thrush.

Thus, in order to cure thrush, it is necessary to eliminate the cause of its occurrence. First of all, treatment should be aimed at overcoming the symptoms of dysbacteriosis and normalizing the immune system. Usually, this is enough to cure the disease. But sometimes special therapy is required, aimed at eliminating the fungus and reducing its numbers.

For this purpose, various immunomodulating, immunostimulating agents, and probiotics are used. To normalize the number of fungi, antifungal (antifungal) drugs may be required. Various folk methods of treatment, homeopathic remedies, herbs, chemical and animal substances have also proven themselves well. It is important to adhere to proper nutrition and observe hygiene rules.
