Male yeast infections are almost as common as they are for women.
Are you surprised? A yeast infection is caused by the overgrowth of candida (the scientific name for yeast).
Candida is already in the body but only is small amounts.
When there's too much present in the body, that's when the problems start.
The male thrush symptoms are actually more or less the same as they are for women.
There's itchiness, irritation, discharge, soreness, and swelling.
So how can you cure male thrush? Here are 5 easy ways to help you relieve that itch and irritation.

1. Go to the pharmacy.
   Did you know that over the counter remedies for treating women will work just as well to treat a male yeast infection? That's right.
   The reason you won't find "men's yeast infection treatment" or "cure for male thrush" on the box is because that's just marketing.
   Women are generally associated with candida infections even though men are almost as likely to have one.
   
2. Diet.
   No one likes diets but candida infections are fueled by sugar and well, yeast.
   Are you eating a lot of bread or junk food high in sugar? This isn't great for your health in general but it certainly isn't helping you to avoid or get rid of male thrush.
   This should be of even greater concern to someone how is diabetic.
   
3. Dry off! When you've had a shower or bath make sure to dry off thoroughly.
   If you've been swimming or out for a jog in the rain make sure to get out of those wet clothes as soon as possible.
   Candida infections love warm, moist places.
   Keeping the underarm and groin areas dry will help relieve male thrush symptoms.
   
4. Safe sex.
   Male thrush is often passed back and forth between partners.
   Men need to be cautious because male yeast infection symptoms don't always appear at the start of an infection.
   Several days can go by before the symptoms will suddenly emerge.
   So if your partner has a yeast infection and is treating it, you should still practice safe sex.
   And just because you don't have any symptoms of male thrush doesn't mean you don't already have it.
   
5. Go to your doctor.
   Male yeast infection symptoms are similar to those of an STD.
   To be on the safe side, a trip to your doctor is advisable.
   You can get a definite diagnosis as well as a prescription.
