Illnesses such as this are much more commonly known in females, but male yeast infections are rife.
They are misunderstood and often, entirely overlooked but today we look to explain a little more about them and to explain some causes, symptoms and treatments.
Fungal and Candida infections are common and many men go throughout their entire lives without knowing that they have one.
They are not noticed as much due to how males and females are build differently but women seem to be more sensitive to them.
The clue with women is that they will get a vaginal infection, but in a man will not notice until it creates other health problems.
If a female has a yeast infection, it is highly likely that she will have passed this onto her partner.
In cases such as this, both partners must take any treatments provided by their Doctor.
During penetration, and because the males urethra is exposed, the likelihood of the man obtaining a male yeast infection is significantly higher.
The risk here is that the yeast infection can travel all the way up the males urethral canal and into his prostate gland and can cause other such issues there.
The other most common causes of male yeast infections are things such as alcohol, sex, peanuts, wheat and corn products and a weak immune system.
They all contribute to growth of a Candida infection as they weaken the immune system because they kill off the good bacteria inside your body, all due to the over acidity that they produce.
The most common symptoms in a man are digestive problems, being hard of breath, feeling constantly bloated, intestinal gas, memory loss, itchy flaky skin on the penis and other prostate problems.
If ever in doubt, do go to visit your Doctor immediately.
