Do You Know the Symptoms of a Male Yeast Infection?

Anyone can get a yeast infection even though they are more commonly associated with women. When it comes to male yeast infections, they may take a different form. Men can have penile infections but they can also get thrush (an oral yeast infection) and an internal yeast infection to name a few. The symptoms of a male yeast infection will all depend on the type of infection the person has.

Male yeast infection symptoms that should be expected are listed below.

Symptoms of an Oral Yeast Infection Called Thrush.

- The tongue can be white or "cakey" feeling.

- Parts of the mouth and/or the tongue can have sores.

What to Expect With Penile Yeast Infections.

- The end of the penis may be red.

- Burning and itching often happens where there is redness.

Internal Yeast Infection Have the Following Signs.

- You might feel constipated.

- Gas is a sign.

- Bloating is associated with this infection.

- Many people suffer from lack of energy.

- It's normal to feel fatigue.

- Mood swings are frequent .

- Other kinds of digestive problems might happen.

Normally, penile yeast infections can be cured using some of the same methods that are used by women but the other two types of infections usually needs to be treated by your doctor.

More serious medical problems can easily arise from Thrush or the internal infection, if they're not treated and they begin to spread throughout the body. Unlike the penile yeast infection, other kinds of infections can be extremely hard to diagnose.

Your physician should be consulted for any other type of infection so, the advice listed below applies only for treating a penile yeast infection.

One form of male infection treatment includes applying Monistat, which is an over the counter cream, to the affected area. However, if your symptoms don't improve within a week, then you should see your doctor.

The good news is that while you're curing the infection, you can also find relief for the burring and itching because the majority of these over the counter products also come with a second cream for this. There are several different home remedies that can also be used to cure male yeast infections if you don't want to use over the counter medications.

Applying cool yogurt to the affected area can provide some much needed relief. Women use this application to help cure the yeast infection along with getting relief from the symptoms it produces. Vinegar is used by a lot of different women for this specific reason.

Male yeast infection symptoms may also be relieved by placing a cold compress on the area.However, you do need to change the compress often so it will stay cool.

Wearing clothing comfortably can be almost impossible if the male yeast issue becomes severe enough. Make an appointment to see your doctor if the symptoms become severe enough to start interfering with your daily routine.

Normally, after you start treatment, the symptoms will start to go away after a few days. Anytime your symptoms last for more than a week, it's time to talk to your doctor about treatment. It doesn't occur very often but a penile infection can spread and cause other more serious medical problems.

You can also give home remedies a try to see if they will cure male yeast infections and help with the symptoms but if you discover, after a few days, they're not working, then you need to see your doctor for a cure.
