Yeast infection is something normally associated as a woman’s problem, however, that isn’t true; men can also suffer yeast infections.
Symptoms Yeast Infection Men include:
- Occasional penile discharge.
- Swelling, redness and extreme sensitivity in the penis.
- Stinging or tingling and an uncomfortable sensation in the penis.
- Blotchy painful rash on the glans penis.
Male yeast infection is also known by other names, such as candida balanitis or male candidiasis, is a subtype of a fungal infection named Candidiasis. It can lead to inflammation of the glans penis, among other problems.
While most people associate yeast infection with women, male yeast infection can also be caused by factors associated with poor personal hygiene, diet, obesity and diabetes.
If you have sexual contact with a woman who suffers from candidiasis, or alternatively, while you are suffering male yeast infection, it is recommended that a simultaneous treatment of both partners is necessary for efficient and permanent therapy of this medical condition.
Treatment is essential to prevent continued cross infection, as during sex, the males urethra is exposed and vulnerable to a male yeast infection from an infected female. The yeast can travel up the urethral canal and settle in the prostate gland and that’s not good.
If your partner is suffering from recurrent yeast infections, you need to consider male yeast infection treatment, as it is quite possible that you may be the cause of the reinfection.
