Male Yeast Infection Treatment Methods
Male yeast infection treatment methods are sought after by men who have a wide variety of symptoms. This article will explore some of the causes of male yeast infections and learn about some remedies for yeast (or candida) infections.
Let’s start with some symptoms. They include (but are not limited to) indigestion, bloating, frequent intestinal gas, bad breath, loose stools, diarrhea, mood swings (and irritability), sexual dysfunction, lack of energy, dry and flaky skin (around the penile area) , prostration problems and athlete’s foot. It can be very difficult to prescribe treatment for male yeast infections without first making a diagnosis. One of the most common (and obvious) signs is inflammation and dry, cracked skin on the penis.
A penile yeast infection is mainly caused by sexual intercourse. When the male partner has a large amount of yeast in the vagina, it passes to the penis through the urethra. What happens then is that itching sensations occur in the male genital area. Additionally, sexual dysfunction can occur, causing pain during sexual activity. There is also the ’embarrassment’ factor for men who have this condition.
One of the common natural treatments for penile yeast infection is the use of various oils, the most popular being tea tree oil. To use it, you can dilute it in water and apply it to the affected areas. Vinegar is also a good option; the application consists of washing the area with a mixture of vinegar and water. This is said to be very effective in relieving itching and pain.
