Personal Hygiene

The first way to help prevent thrush in men is to stick to good personal hygiene. Clean the penis regularly, and if your partner has thrush then always use a condom when having sex.

When you wash, avoid using shower gels and soaps that use perfume. Wear loose fitting underwear to help prevent moisture building up which can help the thrush bacteria to multiply.

Lifestyle

You can also help to prevent thrush from occurring by making some changes to your lifestyle. Try to eat a balanced diet that doesn’t include too much sugar and fat.

Try to avoid stress, as feeling run down can also help to increase the chance of developing thrush.
