Default Male Yeast Infection - Tips on Treating a Male Yeast Infection


It is a common thing to hear yeast infections occurring in women, but
this almost seems like a myth in males. However, even men contract
yeast infection (candidiasis) and they should be equally informed
about this issue the same rate women are.
Although it can be sometimes transmitted sexually by an inflicted
woman to an unaffected male, yeast infection is not categorized under
sexually transmitted diseases, such that not all males who contract it
via sexual intercourse do so in all cases. The same Candida species
(Candida albicans) though, that cause the infection in women are the
same ones involved in men. It is thus, sometimes recommended by
doctors to have a man get checked as well if his partner has yeast
infection.
Another cause of male yeast infection is the use of condoms that are
lubricated with the spermicide, nonxynol-9. Research links the said
spermicide to the development of yeast infections in both men and
women.
However, not all male yeast infections are contracted from sexual
intercourse. There are yeast infections in males that are found in
other parts of the body such as the mouth (oral thrush), ears,
digestive tract and skin. These may occur due to external factors
including medications, illness and lifestyle. A diet high in sugar - a
substance that yeasts feed on - is one. Overconsumption of alcohol,
particularly beer, may contribute to a yeast infection since beer is
both high in yeast and glucose. In this light, diabetes mellitus can
also be a cause, especially if the blood sugar is left unmanaged.
Smoking is also said to put persons at an increased risk for oral
thrush....

------------------------
Interestingly, they have not discovered any contagion from the presence
of either candida on sex partners' skin, nor from even open sores from
severe candida infections. The susceptibility to candida infection
seems to be the ONLY indicator of why someone becomes infected, since
it is present in everyone's skin and wounds. Thus they don't rank it
as an STD necause they have NOT discovered that it is passed that way,
that is, no more sex partners get it when the other partner has it,
than people get it randomly without partners.

I had a dermatologist explain this amazing thing to me after I
acquired a severe case of monilia/candida albicans a couple decades
back. I don't see how such a simple research could ever have been
superceded since back then.

However, the Lamisil and also Clotrimazole and Tinactin-type topical
preparations usually work these days. We didn't have those back then
and I suffered for months.

It seems that otherwise, people just have to wait for their body to
develop a very slow maturing immunity to it again, like the virus in
warts.

In fact the suspicion is that the susceptibility to fungus is actually
due to a virus.
