Women are not the only ones who can get yeast Infections. Men can get it also with the main difference being that the symptoms of infection in a male are far less pronounced and it can go on unnoticed for a much longer period of time. The most common way that men develop yeast infection is through unprotected sex, however, they can also get it if they happen to have a compromised immune system because of complications from HIV or Diabetes.
The symptoms for a male yeast infection are as follows:
A Burning Sensation in the Urethra
A noticeable red rash
Unpleasant white discharge
Itching all around the genital area
Ways to Combat It
As always, prevention is always the best medicine and one of the surest ways to prevent a yeast infection is to maintain a healthy lifestyle as well as a diet that does not help produce yeast. There are a lot of foods out there that can actually render any medications that you are talking useless and most doctors that treat male yeast infections generally recommend a diet change as part of the treatment process. Avoiding food that are filled with processed sugar while eating more raw fruits and vegetables in a good start and your doctor can recommend some other good diet changes along with the medication.
