Yeast fungus infection

Non-circumcised Yeast fungal infection disease
- Reply by: RichT
Hello Dee,
Yes men can get penis yeast fungal infections, especially fellows that are non-circumcised.
It can happen if a guy does not pull his penis foreskin back while taking a shower, and it can happen if the guy does not
keep his penis
foreskin pulled back for a few minutes after a shower as I was told by my doctor.
Of course it can also happen to fellows that do not bath frequently or from an infected partner during sexual intercourse. A couple of years ago I started to notice that the head of my penis had a few read blotches on it and it was a bit sore. I did put some fungal cream and also tried a bacterial cream, not knowing at the time what it might be.
I know, I should have gone to my doctor immediately, but guys, including this one, don't like to see doctors about such things. It did get better, but it also seemed that after my wife and I had intercourse it would get worse again. By the way, when taking a shower each day I would pull the foreskin back and wash well, but I did not leave it pulled back to dry, and hence between the foreskin and the head of my penis it stayed wet/moist. After a few weeks it was definitely time to see the doctor.
The doctor also told me that her GYN should check her for a yeast fungal infection as it is passed back and forth between husband and wife during sexual intercourse. My wife had not indicated any problems like she had in the past when she had a yeast (fungal) infection. She had no burning sensation or the urge to urinate all the time.
However, when her GYN did check he did find that she had a yeast fungal infection. He also gave her one pill of Diflocan.
Amazingly within a few days my candidiasis infection was totally cleared up. We waited two weeks before having sexual intercourse again. Since that time there has been no reocurrance of an candidiasis infection in either of us. I also now keep my foreskin pulled back for a few minutes after taking a shower so that the head of my penis dries off well.
I do not know if there are any other copy-cat diseases out there. There may be, but from what I have read candidiasis is the most common one.
By the way Fluconazole (Diflucan)
is also used to treat fungal and yeast infections elsewhere in the body such as the throat, urinary tract, abdomen, pneumonia and also patients with AIDS.One other point - There are those that maintain you cannot transmit a fungal infection from one partner to an other. All I can say is I know better. Done that, been there.
Hope this helps a bit.
