Sorry guys, but men and yeast infections might be slightly less common than women and yeast infections but you guys definitely do still get them. The main difference between women and Candida and men and yeast infections is that the girls will usually seek treatment quite quickly, whereas guys will leave getting treated until the last possible moment - if at all!

Here are a couple of common men and yeast infections FAQs;

Which parts of the male body are affected by Candida?
The main areas of concern for men and yeast infections are the genitals, armpits, toes, mouth, skin folds and of course the internal organs.

How do men and yeast infections happen?

A Candida overgrowth happens really easily in men. we all have the same group of bacteria within us that control our immune system. When we do things that upset this balance of bacteria we end up with an overgrowth of the bad guys.

What causes an imbalance?

Our diet is a great cause of men and yeast infections, usually too much sugar, refined carbs, and - this ones a real doozy fulla's - yeasty foods like bread and beer are the biggest contributors.

The same applies for boxer short wearers.

Cleanliness is a major issue. Do not underestimate how much you sweat during the day, even if you spend your days sitting at a desk or behind the wheel of a truck. Make sure that you still clean and dry everywhere really well.

Direct contact between men and yeast infections is also very common, but often overlooked.

Unless you live alone and do not venture outside there are many ways that you can come into contact with Candida.
Having unprotected sex with a partner who has a fungal overgrowth is the most common cause of Candida on the genitals.
Less common, but frequently overlooked is using the same bathmat, cloth or even towel as someone with an infection.
Think also of the places that have shared facilities, like the gym, locker room or the ablution block at the beach.
By wearing a condom; not using anyone elses bathmats, towels or cloths and wearing flip flops or sandals in shared bathing facilities you can greatly reduce your chance of getting a yeast infection.

What are the treatment options for men and yeast infections?
Most conventional treatment for men and yeast infections involves an anti-fungal cream which should be used for the entire time stated on the packaging - usually about two weeks. It is important to follow the course until it ends otherwise you run the risk of a recurring infection.

Some men with Thrush like to avoid going to the doctor or pharmacist, or else do not like the side effects of conventional medication so opt to undertake a natural program that will not only work almost right away, but will permanently eliminate the fungus and stop the threat of any recurring infection.
