Male Yeast Infections

Men get yeast infections too although the symptoms are usually mild or not present at all. A white, moist rash on the penis or itching and redness beneath the foreskin can be symptoms. The main problem is transmission. If your partner has a yeast infection, he may give it right back to you again through intercourse. With this in mind, it is often best for both partners to get treated when one has a yeast infection.

Penile Yeast Infections

The causes of yeast infections in men are commonly:
Transmission through intercourse
Nonoxynol-9
Diabetes
Antibiotics/Steroids

Generally men will need a prescription medication such as Diflucan (fluconazole) and Nizoral (ketaconazole) to beat the infection. Your doctor can help you with diagnosis and treatment.
