Although yeast infections are much more common in women, men can also suffer from this disease, contracted by sexual contact. According to a study, up to 15% of men who has sexual contact with someone infected with yeast infection will contract the disease. This is no small number.
The yeast requires a ripe environment in order to survive, and the most infected areas on a male’s body include the penis, scrotum and scrotal sack. One can easily indentify the symptoms of yeast infection: red rash or irritation that has white flakiness at the edges of the infected area, burning pain during urination, redness at the tip of the penis, blisters forming at the shaft or tip of the penis.
There are a few conditions in males where they are more likely to contract yeast infection. These include:
- Diabetes
- Frequent indigestion of antibiotics
- Constant diet high in carbohydrates and sugar
- Weak immune system
Be extra careful if you fit one or more of these conditions. Can Men Get Yeast Infections? Yes, they certainly can.
