Yeast infection in men!

Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!

Yes, men can get yeast infections too, in medical terminology this condition is known as “Balanitis” (inflammation of the head of the penis/glans penis).

Yeast infections in men are common because the fungus that causes yeast infections ( Candida balanitis) is normally present on skin, especially moist skin (warm and moist environment).

Our skin has many forms of yeast that live on it, including Candida. In healthy people, this ordinarily doesn’t cause any problems. But when there’s an overgrowth of Candida, it can dig below the surface of our skin and can cause a rash or skin infection.

When some contributing factor — such as having sex with a partner who has a vaginal yeast infection — causes an overgrowth of candida, infection can result and causes a red, itchy rash on the head of the penis.

Children under age 4 and uncircumcised people have the highest risk of being diagnosed with the condition. Candida balanitis is more likely to occur if you have a condition called phimosis. Phimosis means you can’t pull back (retract) your foreskin over your penis. Once children reach age 5, their foreskin usually becomes easier to retract and their risk level falls.

symptoms of  Yeast infection in men?

Symptoms of a male yeast infection include pain, swelling and redness in your groin area. The redness is usually in patches. Other symptoms may include:

  • Redness, soreness, or swelling of the penis
  • White, shiny patches at the top of the penis
  • Small red spots at the top of the penis
  • Cracked foreskin
  • Thick, white discharge under the foreskin or other folds of skin
  • Difficulty pulling back the foreskin
  • Itchiness
  • Burning sensation during urination
  • Pain or discomfort during sex

After having a yeast infection, you may notice your skin peeling. The infection makes your skin more vulnerable. This can make it flaky or crusty and eventually it may start peeling. Redness, itchiness, and pain in the penis can be signs of other more serious conditions, like some sexually transmitted infections (STIs)

Conditions and risk factors that allow Candida to grow include:

  • Poor hygiene.
  • Using harsh soaps.
  • Not rinsing soap off your foreskin completely.
  • Not drying off thoroughly.
  • Irritated or damaged skin.
  • Sex partners with vaginal yeast infections.
  • Have a condition that weakens immune system, such as diabetes, cancer, HIV/AIDS etc.
  • Have overweight or obesity.
  • Taking antibiotics (Antibiotics kill all good and bad bacteria that normally live in and on our body).
  • Have a sexually transmitted infection (STI).

Complications of Yeast infection in men

An untreated yeast infection can cause many complications which may include:

  • Scarring and narrowing of your penis.
  • Pain and difficulty pulling back your foreskin or moving your foreskin over the head of your penis.
  • Issues with blood supply to the tip of your penis.
  • Increased risk of penile cancer.

Treatment

Allopathic treatment for male yeast infections may include an antifungal drugs like antifungal cream, lotion or ointment and steroid both orally and externally (to apply on derma). Creams for fungal infections are popular as topical ointments to ease symptoms like itching, but their effectiveness in treating the problem is not proven, they just ease the problem and pull the candida inside the dermis/skin which can create even more problems/diseases.
