Can a yeast infection cause an infection on male genitalia?


thts pretty much my question... Can a yeast infection cause an infection on the male ?

Absolutely. It's a male yeast infection....You want to treat it.

Sooner the better.

The symptoms (you may not experience all of them):
- white cottage cheese-like discharge
- some odor
- dryness (can cause bleeding)
- digestive problems
- itchiness
- burning urination
- painful intercourse
- a feeling of just not being "normal"

Here are some safe, natural cures you can implement.

- avoid scented soaps
- avoid sugars and complex carbs for a week
- air out the infected area while you're sleeping at night
- add grapefruit extract to your water during the day (balances hormones)
- eat probiotics like cottage cheese and yogurt
- shower frequently
-drink lots of water and eat plenty of fiber to flush the infection

Yes, a yeast infection can cause an infection on a male. He may notice some dry skin, redness or itching or no effects at all. This is because his penis does not provide an adequate environment for the yeast to grow as yeast prefer dark, moist, warm environments. The overgrowth of yeast is what causes the infection to be so irritating in women.

So, yes, a man can have a yeast infection and he can pass it on to his partner. If a woman has recurring yeast infections, her partner should be checked because he could be giving it right back to her the minute she gets rid of it!

Yes, you can spread the yeast infection to the man through intercourse. They will get a yeast infection not any other infection.

Yes, sometimes it can happen. It's not common but it does happen. Sometimes males don't even realize they have one and can pass it on to you. It best to be cautious.

Yes and a male yeast infection is harder to detect. So if you give him one and you get rid of yours, he could give it right back.

I do know tha men can pass along yeast infections. They have them, but I don't know the way it appears on their genitals. That's how alot of women get them. HTH

yep, it sure can
