Genital thrush in men usually presents with irritation, redness, soreness, and the appearance of white patches on the head of the penis. In some cases, men may also notice a discharge under the foreskin, an unpleasant odour, or discomfort when passing urine or during sex.

The condition is caused by an overgrowth of yeast (Candida) and can be triggered by several factors. These include recent use of antibiotics, diabetes, or a weakened immune system. Thrush is also more likely to develop in warm, moist environments, particularly under the foreskin, which provides ideal conditions for yeast to grow.

Treatment for genital thrush in men often involves antifungal medication. Fluconazole, an oral capsule, is a commonly prescribed treatment that works from within the body and can clear the infection after a single dose in many cases. Clotrimazole cream is also widely used to relieve external symptoms such as itching, irritation, and soreness by being applied directly to the affected area.

In mild cases, thrush can be treated with over-the-counter creams available at pharmacies. However, prescription-strength treatments such as Fluconazole capsules are often more effective for persistent or recurring infections, and these require approval from a prescriber.
