The Truth About Men and Yeast Infections

Sorry guys, but men and yeast infections might be slightly less common than women and yeast infections but you guys definitely do still get them. The difference is, where a woman will actively seek treatment, most men will be prepared to grin and bear it rather than admit that they have the fungus and get treated.

Here are a couple of common men and yeast infections FAQs;

Which areas are affected most often?
The main areas to focus on for men and yeast infections are the toes, genitals, armpits, anywhere where there are fold of skin – like under the belly, the mouth and the internal organs.

So how do men and yeast infections get together?

A Candida overgrowth happens really easily in men. we all have the same group of bacteria within us that control our immune system. When we do things that upset this balance of bacteria we end up with an overgrowth of the bad guys.

What can cause an imbalance of bacteria?

Your diet is one of the biggest reasons men and yeast infections meet. If you have a diet that is really high in things like refined carbos, sugar, moldy cheese and yeast based foods like bread and (sorry guys) beer, then you are encouraging the bad fungi to multiply.

Often the clothing that you wear is a big contributor. Make sure that your boxer shorts, bike pants or gym shorts are made from fabric that will allow air to circulate while still giving you enough support.

Cleanliness is a big one guys! Change those boxers, undies and socks at least daily and make sure that you do wash and dry yourself thoroughly in all those hard to reach places like between your toes, under your arms and around your genitals.

Men and yeast infections can also meet by direct contact.

There are many ways that you can come into contact with the fungus.

  • Having unprotected sex with a partner who has a fungal overgrowth is the most common cause of Candida on the genitals.
  • If you use the same bathmat, towel, cloth or clothing as a person who has a yeast infection then you run the risk of the fungi being transferred to you.
  • Think also of the places that have shared facilities, like the gym, locker room or the ablution block at the beach.

By wearing footwear in shared facilities, not sharing  bathing or showering equipment and by using condoms you can help to protect yourself from direct contact with the fungi.

What are the cures for men and yeast infections?
The most important point to any men and yeast infections treatment is to make sure that you get treated and to follow the entire course of treatment. This usually takes as long as two weeks to completely eradicate the fungus from your system.

Some men with Thrush do not want to go to the doctor or pharmacist, some do not like the side effects of conventional medication so opt to undertake a natural program that will not only work almost right away, but will permanently get rid of the fungus and stop the threat of any reoccurring infection.
