Penis Yeast Infection
Penile Yeast Infection, Yeast Infections Men
As highlighted in the post Yeast Vaginitis, it is possible for men to get a yeast infection in the same way as women, although it is far less common.
However, when men do get such an infection, it is not unusual for them to have none of the itching or pain that commonly identifies the same condition in women. An infected male might know nothing about the existence of the condition.
There is a slightly higher risk of uncircumcised men getting male yeast infections around the head (glans) of the penis, known as balantitis.
When there are identifiable symptoms present, these might be a slight white to yellow discharge from the end of the penis, possibly accompanied by slight inflammation and patchy white blemishes around the base of the glans. There might also be some pain or discomfort after sexual intercourse.
Although it is not that likely in clean, healthy men, it is possible for the penis to become very swollen and painful, although this is not generally going to happen in men whose immune system is not damaged in some way.
Causes and solutions
As with vaginitis, a primary cause of a yeast infection in men is wearing clothing that is too tight or underwear that is made of man made materials. Wearing wet clothes like a damp bathing costume for any length of time is also likely to exacerbate the problem.
As previously suggested, Candida albicans needs warm, damp conditions in which to thrive, so by keeping the groin area clean and dry, you can significantly reduce the chances of contracting an infection.
In order to assist in this task, you can use either antiperspirant or talcum powder, but if you choose to do the latter, make sure that the powder you are using is free of both potentially irritating chemicals and cornstarch.
Starch provides an ideal environment for Candida albicans to multiply, so it must be avoided. For this reason, baby powder is the perfect answer to staying dry.
As mentioned in the post Yeast Vaginitis, genitalia based infections can be passed backwards and forwards between sexual partners, so practicing safe sex is a must.
So many men have turned to a 100% natural regime that has provided them with a fast, safe, permanent cure, allowing them to get on with their lives and relationships, free from worry and stress.
