What are the treatments for Candida albicans in men?

Candida is a common bacterium that is often seen in genital infections. This bacterium specifically infects people with poor hygiene habits. Therefore, you should pay attention to maintaining clean and tidy hygiene habits in your life and clean your home and personal hygiene regularly. Once infected with Candida, it will be very troublesome, especially for men, because the probability of Candida infection in men is higher, and the exposed part of male genitals just gives bacteria an opportunity to take advantage. Let’s take a look at some of the treatments for male Candida. I hope men can understand this and actively treat and prevent this bacterial infection.

1. Symptomatic treatment

Keep the area clean and avoid various irritations. Those with foreskin that is too long should undergo circumcision.

2. Local treatment

For those with erosion, exudation or purulent secretions, apply wet compresses with 1% ethacridine solution or 1:8000 potassium permanganate solution. For those with dryness and desquamation, apply glucocorticoid ointment externally.

3. Treatment of the cause

If the cause is clear, appropriate drug treatment should be given. For example, for candidal genital inflammation, you can apply topical nystatin cream, clotrimazole, econazole, miconazole cream, or oral antifungal drugs such as itraconazole, fluconazole, miconazole, and ketoconazole. Metronidazole, tinidazole, and trichostatin can be used to treat trichomoniasis. For amebic genitalitis, give emetine, metronidazole, and tinidazole. If your spouse also suffers from candidal vaginitis or trichomoniasis, they must be treated at the same time.

Prevention of Candida Infection in Men

1. Men should pay attention to their own hygiene, such as taking frequent baths and changing underwear frequently, and avoid having extramarital affairs.

2. If one of the spouses suffers from this disease, they should stop having sex or wear condoms to avoid cross infection.

3. If your feet have fungal infections such as athlete's foot, do not scratch your feet and then scratch your genitals without washing your hands. Actively treat fungal infections of the feet, and be careful not to wash underwear with socks.

4. Wash the foreskin with clean water every day. Do not use strong soapy water or potassium permanganate solution to wash it.

5. Actively treat systemic diseases, such as hyperadrenocortical function, diabetes, etc. To increase the body's resistance.
