Introduction to male yeast infection
Male yeast infections are often overlooked by many men.
Many can go through life never realizing that they had this type of fungal infection, because it is fairly hard to detect in the men.
Women will get vaginal infections and it will be clear that they have a problem, but men will not have any idea that they have an infection unless it causes them other related health problems.
A man usually gets a yeast infection if he has sex with a partner that has one, and a doctor will usually give him anti-fungal medicine to relieve it.
Men who drink beer often times have skin yeast on their penises, but they are usually unaware of yeast infections since the temperature on the outside of the skin is lower and it keeps the infection dormant.
It is very hot and damp in the vagina, which is why the infection is easily activated in women.
Male yeast infections can be noticeable in the form of a penile yeast infection which shows in dry, cracked skin. However, an infection can occur anywhere on the body.
But in this case, the cracked skin will cause a man to have very painful erections, which is the sign of a yeast infection.
Causes
A man usually gets the infection through sex with a partner that has a yeast infection.
Other common causes include antibiotics, alcohol, beer, sex, what products, corn products, peanuts, barley, and a weak immune system. Symptoms
Men with yeast infections will experience digestive problems, which is the most common symptom.
Other symptoms include constipation, bad breath, bloating, indigestion, intestinal gas, diarrhea, loose stools, sexual problems, fatigue, memory loss, mock itch, athlete’s foot and prostate problems.
Other symptoms include cravings for sweets or junk food, foods that will feed the parasites that have invaded the body. Treatment
There are both medical and natural treatments for male yeast infections. Monistat is the medication that is most commonly used. It is an anti-fungal cream that is used to cure female yeast infections as well.
There are others that can be used, such as Micatin, Lamisil and Lotrimin.
It is best to immediately treat the causes of the male yeast infection, because prolonged infections can lead to more serious health problems, such as diabetes.
It is also a good idea to try a colon clean, because it will get rid of all of the toxins and bacteria in the body, which is what the yeast uses to grow inside the body.
Other natural remedies that have shown to be very effective in battling yeast infections are garlic and yogurt.
