Flucostat for men is used when it is necessary to treat fungal diseases. Although the drug has a lot of side effects, its popularity is due to its high effectiveness and the fact that it is used in short courses.
The appearance of fungal diseases indicates that a decrease in immunity has occurred and hygiene norms and rules are violated, in such cases Flucostat is used for men and women.
This drug is used in the presence of balanoposthitis, which manifests itself in the form of inflammation of both the inner leaf of the foreskin and the skin of the glans penis. A person begins to experience constant itching, which increases over time, curd masses, swelling and redness appear on the glans penis. If you do not treat this disease for a long time, then phimosis may develop, in which it becomes impossible to expose the head of the penis or paraphimosis - the head of the penis is infringed due to the narrowing of the foreskin.
The question of whether Flucostat can be taken by men becomes inappropriate if we say that such a widespread disease as thrush affects both women and men. Signs of thrush in men are the appearance in the genital area, burning, redness, the appearance of cheesy deposits and itching. If this condition is not treated, then balanoposthitis may develop, which is why Flucostat should be used for men. As already mentioned, the appearance of these diseases is possible only in the presence of reduced immunity, in a healthy person the body does not allow their occurrence and development.
