However, its symptoms are similar to yeast infection in women - burning while urinating, pain during intercourse, rashes, itching etc. The rashes in the case of men appear either on the tip of the penis or on its shaft. Men also experience burning in the infected area and little discharge and swelling too.

 

Although it is women who are prone to yeast infection, that does not mean that men contact yeast infection generally from women. Unhygienic sex, consuming antibiotics could also be the cause.

 

Consult a doctor if you suspect a yeast infection. Since the line of treatment is the same as in vaginal yeast infection, you could even opt for over the counter medications if you do not feel embarrassed. If not, turn to home and natural remedies like yoghurt to get rid of it.

 

It is better that you abstain from intercourse as there is a bright chance of passing the infection to your partner. If you have acquired the infection from your partner, it is even better to shun intercourse as both of you could be passing it to and forth. There are certain essential things that you need to start doing before the medicines start showing its affect. Start wearing loose fitting clothes, avoid jeans. If you decide to go for a swim change you’re bathing costume quickly. Refrain from alcohol, red meat and fermented food. Stress strains the immunity level of a person, so try to relax as much as you can.

 

Fortunately, yeast infection in men is easier to treat. Chronic yeast infection in men is rare. But it is best to take precautionary measures as recurring infection could be bad for health.
