Can men get thrush?
Men can commonly get thrush. When they do get thrush, it is often non-symptomatic, which means that they can carry an excessive amount of yeast on their genitals. Thrush is an overgrowth of Candida, which is a yeast, like a fungus, and it can occur in various parts of the body. Thrush can be on the mouth, the genitals or the intestines. Women most commonly have this problem. They can transmit it to the man. If the man is carrying an excessive amount of Candida, he can reinfect the women. It is sometimes worth treating partners of women who have recurring problems with Candida and thrush.
