How to treat Candida albicans infection in men

The treatment of Candida albicans infection in men mainly includes the following: 1. General management: Actively eliminate predisposing factors, such as discontinuing immunosuppressive agents and enhancing physical exercise to improve immune function. A light diet is recommended, including foods such as millet porridge and Chinese yam porridge, while avoiding irritants like chili peppers and Sichuan pepper. 2. Pharmacological treatment: Use antifungal agents such as itraconazole, fluconazole, and terbinafine, which are effective in promoting recovery. For men with low immunity, immunomodulatory drugs such as thymopeptin, transfer factor, and pidotimod may also be used to enhance immune function. 3. Surgical treatment: If the infection leads to complications such as esophageal stricture or meningitis, surgical interventions such as esophageal dilation, esophagectomy, or ventriculoperitoneal shunting may be required.
