Thrush in men is an extremely unpleasant phenomenon, so it needs to be treated. And this needs to be done as quickly as possible. To do this, you need to see a urologist as soon as possible, undergo the necessary diagnostics, and receive treatment. It is necessary to remember that thrush is a risk for the partner as well, so treatment should be done together, or refrain from sexual intercourse for the duration of treatment.

If a woman has thrush, only a man with high immunity can afford not to undergo treatment. Treatment may vary depending on the severity of the pathology in women, the man's immunity, and the state of his urogenital microflora. Only a doctor can select the optimal treatment, so it is necessary to consult a urologist as soon as possible. Phytotherapy has also proven itself well, as well as the treatment of thrush in men with folk and homeopathic remedies.
