What are Males Yeast Infection Symptoms?

Yeast infection is medically known as candidiasis, candidosis, monoliasis, and oidiomycosis. It is caused by the overgrowth of any of the Candida species, which is part of the normal flora (collection of organisms that naturally live in a particular organ) of the human body as in the mouth, gut, and vagina. In controlled numbers, it doesn’t cause harm to humans. However, in cases of disruptions in the function of the immune system – such as in immunocompromised persons and decrease in the number of good bacteria in humans as in prolonged intake of antibiotics – Candida may proliferate and cause the infection.

Candidiasis can affect different parts of the body. Yeast infection of the genital region obtained from sexual intercourse is more common in females, but male yeast infection is becoming a common occurrence. Male yeast infection symptoms and signs on the genital region include the following:

1)      Itchiness in the genital organ which is one of the first symptoms to appear.

2)      Red and patchy sores on the head and/or foreskin of the penis accompanied by irritation.

3)      Presence of whitish and curd-like discharge.

4)      Burning sensation upon urination.

5)      Pain during sexual intercourse.

6)      For severe yeast infection, sexual dysfunction may result.

7)      Prostate problems such as cancer of the prostate during long-term and untreated male yeast infection, though this still has to be studied in in-depth.

Other systemic males yeast infection symptoms and signs include dry and itchy skin, local infection in the oral cavity also called thrush, bad breath, bloating, indigestion, frequent diarrhea, fatigue or lack of energy, irritability and mood swings, and many others.

Although male yeast infection is treatable with mostly the same medications used for vaginal infection such as creams, drugs, and others; there is a need to try different treatments before finding a suitable one for male patients. Because many male patients are ashamed to consult a physician for fear of ridicule, they tend to self-medicate. This is not advisable and it is always best to visit a physician to find out the real cause and to effectively treat the disease which tend to reoccur and may be fatal.
