Men it is important that you realise that yeast infections are not just a female health problem. Though Candida problems are not as common in men as in women, men can still be affected by the yeast’s overgrowth and the consequent uncomfortable and unpleasant symptoms.
If kept under control Candida can help your body by killing other harmful bacteria and helping in the digestive tract. But when it is allowed to overgrow it becomes a yeast infection. This happens if the immune system is weakened or if good bacteria are killed. For example AIDs or HIV sufferers are more likely to get yeast infections because their immune system is compromised.
The most common area of the body men get a yeast infection is in the penis, with symptoms that include itching, red rash, burning at the head, small red or white bumps, white penile discharge and pain during sex. If you are unsure visit your doctor for a proper diagnosis so that fast treatment can be started.
Here are four causes of male yeast infections.
Weakened Immune System
This is a major cause of the infection. Prolonged use of antbiotics can adversely affect the immune system and kill the good bacteria that keeps the candida fungus under control.
High Blood Sugar Levels
Diabetics or high blood sugar levels make you more at risk because the yeast loves the sugar. It is important therefore to control your diet and take medical advice where needed.
Spermicidal Lubricant
Condoms that have spermicidal lubricants can cause injuries to the genital areas like sores which makes them more likely to get yeast infections as the chemical balance is disrupted there. Avoid them if you have a problem with yeast infections or have sensitive skin.
Sex
If you are a man who has had unprotected sex with an infected partner you can get the yeast infection in this manner. It will keep going back and forth between partners until BOTH get treated.
