Suggest Treatment For Recurring Thrush

I have been having problems with recurring Thrush (I am a male) and during sex recently my Frenulum snapped. It seems to have healed shorter and the thrush just keeps on coming (I have tried Canesten creams to no avail) - I am wondering what the best course of action would be.

Hi,

I can understand your concern. It seems that the topical cream you are applying is not reaching the fungus strongly to eliminate it.

I would advise you to do a systemic course of anti-fungal drug. You can take Fluconazole (Fole) 150 mg once a day for 5 days, unless you are allergic to it. You can continue to apply the cream you are using topically for additional aid and to resolve infection faster.

If the situation does not improve in five days, I would advise you to consult a physician for physical examination and carry out further investigations.

I hope this information helps. Thank you for choosing HealthCareMagic. Take care.

Best,
Dr. Viraj Shah
