Male Yeast Infection Treatment 

Although you might not realize this, and many people don’t. Men can and do get Yeast Infections too, and the consequences can be every bit as uncomfortable and embarrassing as a vaginal yeast infection is for a woman.

Male Yeast Infection Treatment methods are similar to those used for women, but the symptoms and the results may be a bit different. Some men never get noticeable symptoms.

A man can pick up a Yeast Infection in a variety of ways:

Through sexual contact with a woman who has an active candida infection in her vagina. Since the partners of such women often don’t exhibit Yeast Infection symptoms until well after exposure, many men and women don’t realize that Yeast Infections can be spread to a partner.

Through repeated use of antibiotics or exceptionally strong antibiotics. Antibiotic medicines kill off the beneficial bacteria that keep yeast under control right along with disease bacteria, leaving the patient cured of an illness or bacterial infection but now facing a nasty Yeast Infection.

Sometimes men take antibiotics indiscriminately when they are not really needed, thus giving yeast a foothold. Other times aggressive antibiotic therapy is really necessary but has the unwanted side effect of causing a Male Yeast Infection.

By having a compromised immune system. Many chronic illnesses that attack the immune system, such as AIDS and lupus, also give yeast a chance to flourish and cause problems. About 85% of all men with immune system disorders will develop a Yeast Infection at some point in their disease.

The best Male Yeast Infection Treatment combine some of the same antifungal medications prescribed for women with sensible lifestyle changes that starve out the yeast and strengthen the immune system.

Male yeast infection treatment typically includes:

Antifungal drugs. These can include over the counter creams and remedies such as Monistat, Micatin, Lamisil and Lotrimin, as well as prescription oral antifungal medicines like fluconazole (Diflucan). Antifungal drugs are often not sufficient in and of themselves to completely eliminate a Male Yeast Infection, but are an important part of Male Yeast Infection Treatment.

Dietary changes. Foods to avoid include anything that feeds the yeast, such as sugar, refined starch, alcohol, and anything that contains yeast such as bread, rolls, beer, and wine. Some fermented hard cheeses should also be avoided.

Eating yogurt helps to replace the ‘good’ bacteria that keep yeast under control. Any yogurt that contains lactobacillus acidophilus will work; preferably one with a low sugar content and few additives.

Temporary cessation of sexual activity and tandem treatment. For men in monogamous relationships with women who get chronic Yeast Infections, it is important to treat both people together and stop sexual activity until both have eliminated their Yeast Infections. This can take a month or more, but if ignored, the couple can just keep passing the infection back and forth indefinitely.

In addition to these standard Male Yeast Infection Treatment steps, anything a man can do to boost his immune function will help to eliminate and control the yeast. Get enough sleep, take a multivitamin, learn to reduce and manage stress. Once the Yeast Infection is eliminated, most men find they can slowly reintroduce some alcohol and sweet foods again gradually, in moderation, keeping in mind that a healthy diet and strong immune system is important no matter what is going on.
