Yeast infections known as thrush ? caused by the Candida albicans fungus ? can affect men. Thrush develops in your mouth, throat, skin, and genitals. Tea tree oil Tea tree oil has many healing properties. Studies have shown that tea tree oil provides antibacterial, antiprotozoal, antifungal, and antiviral benefits. Specifically, the antifungal properties serve to treat yeast infections when applied on and around the penis head. Tea tree oil is sold in many strengths. If you buy pure tea tree oil, dilute it in olive oil. Yogurt Yogurt is a natural probiotic. Adding yogurt to your diet will promote positive bacteria growth, which will combat infections such as candida or thrush. You can also apply plain yogurt directly to the area that is affected. Be sure to purchase yogurt with live bacteria. Garlic Garlic is known to have antifungal and antibacterial uses. A study comparing clotrimazole (a common cream for yeast infection) to a cream made of thyme and garlic found that the thyme and garlic had reduced side effects with the same healing capabilities. Adding garlic to your diet has many health benefits. Apple cider vinegar Apple cider vinegar operates as an antifungal against the Candida species of yeast. It can be applied to the area topically. The smell may bother you at first, but the vinegar smell evaporates as time passes. If it burns, mix with a little water before applying. Coconut oil Coconut oil is promoted by natural healers as having many health-related uses such as relieving constipation, repairing hair, and moisturizing skin. A 2007 study showed that coconut oil was highly effective against Candida albicans.

Hello- Thrush is a fungal infection caused by Candida yeasts, and especially Candida albicans. When thrush occurs in males, it can affect the head of the penis and the foreskin. It can lead to inflammation of the head of the penis, known as balanitis. Oral thrush affects the mucous membranes, for example, of the mouth. Apply Fungiwin tube twice daily. It will be cured.
