Avatar n tn You can get a bacterial infection from having sex with someone who has one or just from having poor hygiene in general. What type of bacterial infection do you mean?
Avatar f tn Thank you so much for the info Redilma! He did wear a condom during sex btw but I have another question. Since I don't have any symptoms at all, when I use the creams and the tablets, how will I know I treated the yeast infection and it actually went away. To be honest I don't even know if I have a yeast infection. It has been two weeks since we had sex. I feel perfect and everything looks fine too. Is it possible to have a vaginal yeast infection and not have any symptoms?
Avatar m tn My wife has re-ocuring yeast infection. Her doc took a swab and said no STS but yeast infection keeps comming back. y wife wants to ask her doctor for a sts test but I tell her yeast and sts are not realted. Is this correct?
Avatar n tn I looked on the internet and it says there are no drugs that cure yeast infection in men ( only takes away the effects of it ). Does any qualified doctor here know if there is a !!!cure!!! here for year infection in men? I bought canesten cream but its not getting rid of it.
Avatar n tn My son seems to have candida, his partner has like terrible yeast infection, the URI came out negative. He began with irritation, blisters, rash on side of his face, anus, penis and groin area. Does Diflucan and a topical cream solve his problem?
Avatar f tn You may want to get it tested again to confirm that it is indeed another yeast infection. If it is not, constantly using OTC yeast infection treatments may actually worsen the problem by throwing off your natural bacterial balance that exists.
Avatar n tn BV isn't an std but just passed the same way. Basically if you have the bacteria, your partner would pick it up from you and have it on him. Then reinfect you with that same bacteria. But it isn't an STD. :>) Typically the medication given isn't the same as for a yeast infection. Yeast is actually a fungal infection which is different than bacteria. With bacteria, the medication is a pill and does have things to know about when taking it.
Avatar f tn I let my boyfriend ejaculate in me during sex and within a week after sex I always get a yeast infection....this has been going on for about four months now....is his semen the cause of my frequent yeast infections?
Avatar f tn Did your MD state you had an yeast infection or just an infection and not tell you what type? Did you MD tell you to treat it? According to a website: "it's tricky to tell when men have yeast infections, because they can have a penile yeast infection without having symptoms. when they do have symptoms, it can be really awful; the most common symptom is irritation and soreness of the head of the penis. apparently it can itch like crazy, too.
Avatar m tn I am curious what the differences are between a yeast infection and herpes in MEN. From what I read they have very similar symtoms. What if any tell tale differences are there between the two? For example, I know yeast infections can cause an odor, but does/can herpes cause an odor?
Avatar m tn Only thing I can think of is that she had a yeast infection and she got treated but I never did and it seem like she is getting them more often and we may be passing it back and forth.
Avatar m tn Wow, why would you use cortisone regularly? The rash is probably from sweating. Do you shower regularly? Using some corn starch there to prevent the sweating that is probably causing your problem in the armpits might save you some problems, as cortisone can cause a lot of problems. Mainly, at least in this post, you don't say why you think you have a yeast infection. Not to say it never happens, but men don't usually get them.
10406702 tn?1409942125 Yes, yeast balanitis (the medical term for inflammation of the head of the penis, typically in uncircumcised men) commonly causes red spots that may be pimple-like. I see no reason for embarrassment. It that's what is preventing you from getting professional care, suck it up and just do it.
549930 tn?1215041691 the strangest thing is that its not so bad in the inside of the vigina, its the outside of it, i have been scratching my coochie like crazy, is it possible that he can have it a yeast infection and not know it? he have been tested for a physical and everything came out negative, i just dont understand, my boyfriend smokes but he does not drink at all.
Avatar f tn Sweetie, why the dramatic thoughts over a yeast infection? Every single woman on the face of the planet gets one from time to time. Men do too! Yep, they can get yeast and fungal issues just like we can. Babies get them!!! It's just a shift in your ph that causes an overgrowth of yeast. You can get them in your vagina, your mouth, etc. NOT a big deal. Not related to sex or being sexual. We can get them from taking antibiotics even. Really, not a big deal.

Avatar n tn Well I have posted a topic a week or so ago regarding a recently diagnosis of a male yeast infection. The symptoms and scenarios matched according to my doctor. The specifically located white patch/redness on the tip of my penis has not subsided even after following the treatment directed for me to do. Diflucan x 1( recently have taken a second one to see if it changes anything) monstat x3 daily for 2 weeks, selsun blue x1 daily for 1 week, and acidopholus x1 daily for 2 weeks.
