Treatment of candidiasis in men

Urogenital candidiasis, or thrush in another way, is a fungal disease that causes fungi of the yeast-like type from the family Candida albicans. As a rule, with this disease affects the mucous membrane of the genital organs. Usually thrush develops in women, among men this is a rare disease. This is partly due to the fact that in men, the fungus is washed out of the urethra by urine due to its physiological structure. Therefore, if the disease developed in a man, you can talk at least about reducing the immune defenses of the body.

Treatment of candidiasis in men is difficult because it almost always develops due to the presence of some kind of urological or endocrine disease, diabetes mellitus, etc.

Treatment of Candidiasis of mild form

In some cases, the development of the disease begins after any operation or after supercooling, Because in these situations, the body's immune forces decrease. This type of thrush does not require long-term treatment, if you start treatment on time and do not start the disease.

As a rule, a specialist prescribes restorative treatment in the form of immunal, aloe with honey, vitamin-mineral complexes, etc. In addition, it is better to exclude sweet foods from the diet, since simple carbohydrates are the optimal nutrient medium for fungi( honey is an exception, becauseIt has an antifungal effect, but it should be used in moderation).

Local treatment with creams and ointments that contain antifungal agents is also indicated. However, treatment should be carried out only after examination and establishment of the pathogen. This is due to the fact that the disease often develops in conjunction with a bacterial nonspecific infection( streptococcal, staphylococcal, etc.), which is constantly on the genitals of men and causes the development of the disease only with a decrease in protective forces. And because only antifungal drugs can simply not help.

For treatment should be used creams with clotrimazole. Apply the cream to a thin layer on the inner surface of the foreskin and the glans penis twice a day. Before applying to the surface, apply two-percent soda solution( not wiping).The course of treatment is seven to fourteen days, after which it is necessary to pass tests to confirm the cure.

Treatment of severe candidiasis

Treatment of severe, recurrent, difficult to treat forms of candidiasis should begin with a full examination and clarify the causes of the disease. Usually a severe form of the disease occurs in people with chronic, imperceptibly flowing infectious and inflammatory urological diseases, obesity, diabetes, endocrine and other diseases. Quite often permanent recurrences of candidiasis occur with candidiasis of the intestine, and if not cured, the relapses will be permanent.

Also in this situation, microscopic examination of secretions and raids from the genital organs is carried out, which will confirm a large number of fungi;A microbiological study in which sowing of excreta on nutrient media is carried out in order to identify the causative agent of infections and to determine sensitivity to antibacterial and antifungal agents.

After the diagnosis is made, they start treatment. In this case, treat the underlying disease that led to a decrease in protective forces, and thrush( drugs for topical application).Also restore the immune system and prescribe systemic antifungal drugs( if the form of the disease is not severe, then the antifungal agents can be in the form of capsules or tablets).The course of treatment and dosage is determined by a specialist.

If therapy does not lead to the necessary results, and the fungus spreads through the body, then the treatment is carried out already in a hospital.

In severe forms of the disease, local therapy is conducted in the same way as in the treatment of candidiasis of mild form, using antifungal agents having local action.
