My doctor seems to think that I may have a male yeast infection, due to months of antibiotics I had taken.

My symptoms have been itching/redness in the testicles and itch in the anus. It has been going on for months and he has me on the candida diet. it seems to be working to a point, but has not subsided.

I would like to know of any males out there have had this condition and could shed some light on the subject.

your help would be greatly appreciated.

What is the best Anti-Candida Diet?




I woke up this morning feeling like I got hit by a car. (yes, I’ve been hit by a car before, I know what it feels like.) I discovered in the last few days that I have a male yeast infection, and after extensive research into it, trying to determine what questions I should ask my dr, I stumbled on Candida. I’ve stumbled across multiple websites all over the internets that say, buy my supplement to to rid yourself of Candida. For most people that have a disposable income, (which isn’t many in this recession) the cost of the product isn’t so prohibitive. However, I’m on a fixed income. Fixed income is the governments way of saying that we’re going to pay you less than poverty level income, and there’s nothing you can do about it.
Anyways, all of these sites have a list of Candida overgrowth symptoms, etc, and it would appear that I have all of them as they apply to males. It’s difficult for me to determine if this is just all some fad or hype on the internet, because it seems the best source of information is from those people that want to sell me some obscure fix.
I remember being capable of applying my mind to a problem and being able to work through it to the end of the problem. Over the last 2 years, my mind has become quite a foggy mess, and I find it difficult to remain on task, because I forget what I was thinking about.
As there are many differences as to what the ‘best’ is, I decided to clarify what I think would be good for me as far as best.
I need a diet that is easy to follow, and is affordable on my income. I spend between -0 a month on food. I haven’t done much shopping yet for the month, but I estimate to have around remaining for the month.
I won’t buy any ’special - specific anti candida treatments’. I cannot afford to waste that money, and money back guarantees are frustrating. (odds are I’ll forget anyways.)
Since I’m often erratic in my means and methods, I intend to stock my food stores up with things that aim to be anti-candida, so no matter what I manage to grab to feed myself, will be along the lines of my end goal. (anti - candida snack foods)
I’ve taken the first step toward this goal, and I have resigned to drinking my iced tea without any sugar in it. I read somewhere that I should avoid tea for an anti candida diet. I need to know if this is something I can ignore. I drink just standard tea, orange pekoe, I brew it pretty strong, 10 small bags for about 3-8 hours per 2 quarts of water. I also brew it cold. It’s pretty much my last vice, other than smoking, and when I quit that, my tea will be my last vice.
I’m sorry the detail is lengthy, I hope it is not too redundant. Thank you to all who try to help me with this in advance.
For those of you that desire to SPAM this thread, don’t. I will not tolerate answers that are totally unrelated to my question, answers that promote some silly site where you are trying to make a buck on a referral, I want a direct, informative answer related to my question. If you can’t be bothered to READ the question, and the guidelines for answers, don’t bother answering it.

What Dr. to see for a male yeast infection?

My story. Over the summer I slept with a new partner. Not even 48 hours later I had a red spot/rash on the head of my penis. Tested negative for STD’s. After doing research I’m almost positive it’s a male yeast infection. I read it can show up 12 hours to 5 days. I havent seen anything else where symptoms show up not even 48 hours later. So what Dr would be best? I would obviously like to get it taken care of ASAP, so if the Dr. does say it’s a yeast infection, I’d love to get it taken care of then(if possible) rather than being referred to another Dr. Thanks!
Thanks for the help. I thought I’d see what people have done before so I know what Dr. to contact.

I’ve tried Monistat with some progress but didn’t clear up. I know it doesn’t always work on guys.

And as far as a prego test, I think I’ll pass. I haven’t heard of any guys ever getting pregnant themselves.

I’m well aware of my mistake and I’m sure most people are after they do go through something. I person dislike when people say something like "stop having unprotected sex blah blah blah". I’m sure it doesn’t make the person feel any better about themselves. It’s just reinforcing the fact that they made a mistake. I’m sure there’s a better way to word something like that. I know you probably mean well though.

Do I have a male yeast infection?

*Gross description included, don’t read if you’re squeamish.*

My girlfriend and I are pretty sure that she has a yeast infection. However, she did not tell me this until AFTER we had unprotected sex. That was a few days ago, and now the head of my penis is itchy, and i noticed that it was really red. Also, there is this white…stuff. I don’t really know what it is but it’s there every time i pull back my foreskin.
But it doesn’t burn to urinate. I shower every day (thoroughly) so that white stuff isn’t any residue or anything. These are the only symptoms that I’ve noticed.

Could I have a male yeast infection? How do I get rid of it? If it’s meds I’m kind of screwed cuz I’m broke for the next 2 weeks at least.

Can you cure a male yeast infection with otc creams?
can you cure a male yeast infection with otc creams?
like monistat? If a man has a yeast infection can he just put some external cream over his penis for several days and cure it? I don’t KNOW for sure I have it, my girlfriend had one and we had sex without a condom (she’s on the pill). I just found out I could have one and not know it, then we’ll pass it back and forth. can I use some cream from a monistat?
I don’t feel any different, so I’m probably not infected.
Does it make any difference if it’s circumsized? I’m circumsized, so it’s not like I have the foreskin for it to grow in.

My fiancee and I went swimming at metro beach (it’s a pretty dirty beach off lake st clair in southeast michigan). Now he has red patches on his penis (he was fine before we went to the beach) they don’t itch or burn but we have been putting monistat on it and think we caught it early. My mother who has some medical knowledge says from what we described it sounds like a male yeast infection. He is also uncircumcised but uses baby wipes to clean himself after he urinates. So basically what I’m wondering is can you get a male yeast infection from dirty water. Because I just had my pap and am STD and yeast free. He’s also with me 24/7 so him cheating and it being an STD is unlikely.
he has no insurance

How painful is treating a male yeast infection?

I am afflicted with a male yeast infection, I've avoided treatment simply because it seems very painful considering the area is VERY tender I was wondering how painful is treating a male yeast infection (using 1 % Clotrimazole) on a pain scale from 1-10, and possibly some suggestions of less painful treatments and PLEASE NO INSULTS it is as humiliating as it is irritating
thank you very much for replying, just wondering if it did burn afterward or maybe just a warming sensation? I don't know but it was painful for me, but I assume that's not the case with everyone but, since it did happen, is it normal? and also will urinating afterward lessen the effect?

How do u treat a yeast infection for a male?

In the last 2 days, my bf was complaining his penis was a little irritated. We didn’t think much of it because we figured it was the soap, which was a problem in the past. But just today, I come to the realization that I have a yeast infection. I bought the Monistat and used it asap. I already feel better and will continue with treatment. My question is how is a male yeast infection treated? Besides not having sex.
Any and all answers are appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
