This ain't gonna be a pretty subject, because the male
yeast infection affects a very unique part of the male
anatomy.
It's also called candida balanitis, which literally
means inflammation of the glans penis, and the glans is
the vascular body at the apex of the penis.

Diagnosis needs to be made by a very experienced clinician, because
there are other sexually transmitted diseases to differentiate
it from, and it can mimic other conditions.
This is more likely to happen if you have phimosis, which means the prepuce (foreskin) can't be drawn back to uncover the glans. If you've had a circumcision, it's much less likely you'll get a yeast infection.
The treatment doesn't involve drugs- you have |
|
to keep your glans clean and dry, rather than applying medication. Intercourse should be avoided in acute attacks because moisture and trauma make the male yeast infection worse.
Some men find that the morning after sex, their glans is inflamed.
This may occur because of moisture under the foreskin overnight
rather transmission of bacteria, fungus, or viruses. Wash and
dry the glans after intercourse and oral sex.
Always retract your foreskin during urination.
If you can't get rid of the yeast infection by keeping it clean
and dry, you'll need a circumcision. No biggie- in the Bible,
the Jews did that before a big battle and they won big time.
