Yeast Infection In Men

Is a yeast infection in men possible?

Many men feel yeast infections are simply a woman's problem, but men can get yeast overgrowth as well.

What are the symptoms of yeast infection in men?

• Red rash, itching or burning around the tip of the penis.
• Pain or burning sensation when urinating
• Impotence
• Yeast Infections in your Toe or Fingernails

There are some factors that can cause more of a problem with yeast or Candida symptoms in men.

Typically repeated use of antibiotics especially the potent, braod specturm antibiotics can kill many of the beneficial bacteria in a man's body and upset the normal balance of yeast or Candida Albicans.

Other risk factors are men with diabetes or impaired immune systems, such as those with HIV, are more susceptible to yeast infections than other men.

Many men first discover yeast infection symtoms after having sexual intercouse with a woman who has a vaginal yeast infection. It is a good idea for both partners to be treated so that they do not pass the infection back to each other and to eliminate the yeast related symptoms.
