[QUOTE="eddie864, post: 356518, member: 45496"] For guys ... I get thrush every now and then and it's awful. Part of it is about hygiene where some pee stays on the penis after peeing. With diabetics (we handle infections less well than non diabetics) this pee can also be quite sugary and this opens the floodgates for Thrush as the fungus loves warm, wet areas and the addition of sugar is the cream on the top! Untreated thrush can quickly lead to Balanitis and Phimosis both of which us guys also need to avoid. So, Cure and prevention. Wash and dry your "bits" every time you pee and wash and dry yourself in-between pees as well. This stops your penis being a beacon for thrush. I use Canestan Duo which offers a cream (clotrimazole) to apply topically and a tablet (fluconazole) that kills the fungus far quicker than the cream does alone. Don't know about the ladies who seem to be more prone to thrush anyway but I'm sure the hygiene part is relevant too. [/QUOTE]
