Why us?
Treat male yeast infections privately with doctor-approved antifungal medication. No GP visit, no waiting rooms.
Male thrush, sometimes called penile thrush or candida balanitis, is a yeast infection that affects the head of the penis. It’s usually caused by an overgrowth of the Candida fungus, the same organism that can cause thrush in women.
Typical symptoms of male thrush include irritation, redness, itching, and a white discharge under the foreskin.
The condition is common, treatable, and rarely serious.
At smartscripts.ie Irish-registered doctors can provide a quick, discreet online consultation and prescribe clinically proven antifungal medication to relieve symptoms fast.
