Identifying Penile Yeast Infection

 

Men are not as affected by yeast infections as women are but they can still get infected in the penis. It can be just as uncomfortable when it happens and symptoms to look for are soreness, irritation, and the tip of the penis being itchy. When looking at photos of the infection visible are redness, blisters that are red or white, and at the head some bumps. Men tend to get a penile yeast infection from having intercourse with an infected female partner and not using condoms.

 

Identifying Vaginal Yeast Infection

 

Over three quarters of women have to face this at some point in their lives. Symptoms are similar to the male infection and include, itching, burning, discomfort, and a vaginal odor. Looking at an infection you can see redness of the vulva, swelling, and a cottage cheese like discharge. Female causes include hormonal change times such as menopause, pregnancy and menstruation. Birth control pills and antibiotics are also causes as is diet.

 

Identifying Oral Yeast Infection

 

This affects the mouth but can go deeper sometimes to the throat. Symptoms include sores inside the mouth or white lesions. They are found normally on the inside of the cheeks and the tongue.
