male yeast infections can occur in just the same places that women will get it – with the exception of the vagina of course! But, as with the rest of this article, I’m not talking primarily of the yeast infections that can occur elsewhere, but instead of the type of yeast infections that can occur on the genital area. Now since men don’t have a vagina, and therefore can’t harbor or breed the Candida Albicans bacteria in their vagina, it falls to the factor of transference for men to get male yeast infections. Although there can be a few different reasons for male yeast infections, the most common reason is due to transferal through sexual intercourse. If their sexual partner has a yeast infection, then a man has a chance of also contracting male yeast infections. This is not a matter of sexually transmitted diseases though. Yeast infections can be transmitted through sexual intercourse, but that doesn’t mean that the other person will get it. In the case of male yeast infections, there’s only a 12-15% chance that they will get it if their partner has a yeast infection. And once you do get male yeast infections there’s also the chance that you can pass it back to your sexual partner and get it back again as well. That’s why it’s always a good idea to abstain from having sexual relations while you have male yeast infections. Symptoms of male yeast infections will be similar to those of vaginal yeast infections. There will be some differences but for the most part they are similar. Itching of the penis, Burning sensation of the tip of the penis, Red rash on your penis, and Burning sensation when urinating. And just as the symptoms for male yeast infections are the same or similar to those of female yeast infections, the cures are also the same or similar. Very obviously there are some things that you can’t do in the case of cures, like the use of suppositories for instance. But you can adapt just about all of the other cures to suit male yeast infections. You might also want to ask your doctor about prescription medications and over the counter medications. In the case of over the counter medications you might definitely want to ask your doctor first about whether you can use them as well, or whether you need to go in for something different.
