Any guys out there who have experienced a male yeast infection?
My doctor seems to think that I may have a male yeast infection, due to months of antibiotics I had taken.
My symptoms have been itching/redness in the testicles and itch in the anus. It has been going on for months and he has me on the candida diet. it seems to be working to a point, but has not subsided.
I would like to know of any males out there have had this condition and could shed some light on the subject.
your help would be greatly appreciated.

Im a woman but men can get yeast infection. If your having unprotected sex with a woman who has one it can be transmitted. Both of you need to get treated unless you’ll just keep passing it back and forth to one another. It definilty causes itching, the meds wont work overnight. Be patient and it should go away. You didnt say how long you’ve been taking it. I know that there are many causes to YI in women. Good luck!
your doctor is full of BS. You have to get it from a female. and she has to have it real bad. that how i got it. and my doctor had to treat the girl i had sex with as well. well go see another doctor. well bye.
Well to be honest you should be on medical treatment, not eating special diets.
I had anti-biotics with mine however for some people it can worsen the issue because of their reaction to the medication. But there are other options available and I suggest looking into those.
However yeast infections when left for a long time usually get pretty bad. Mine got horrible in the two weeks I had it before a doctor gave me the correct medication.
I would go with a medical treatment, I don’t understand how a diet is going to do anything for you are food doesn’t really have anything to do with yeast infections. It has to do with the PH balance of mucus membrane being thrown off. I would get a seccond oppninion because from were I stand this doctor is kinda out there.
Do what you think it best. But I can’t imagine having a yeast infection that long without killing myself haha. But I would look into seeing another doctor because that’s way too long to be having issues and not get it taken care of.

Basically the reason you have a yeast infection is because there’s an imbalance in your body. A healthy person has a balance between the yeast in their body and the good bacteria in their body.
Too much yeast, you have a yeast infection. Too much bacteria, you have a bacterial infection.
So, when you have a yeast infection you essentially have too much yeast in your body relative to the good bacteria. The natural way to treat it and bring back that balance is to starve the yeast and introduce more good bacteria into your body.
Oh and BTW – That’s why you often get relief from using the over the counter meds temporarily, and then the yeast infection comes back. The creams aren’t changing the source of the problem. They are just killing the yeast they come in contact with, and not balancing the yeast/bacteria in your body and actually sometimes end up making things a lot worse.
Oh BTW2 – That’s also why many times you’ll get a yeast infection after using antibiotics. Antibiotics kill all the bacteria in your body, the good and the bad. When that happens the balance between the yeast and good bacteria is off, and once again and you get a yeast infection.
Things you can add to your diet (to help promote good bacteria) are live yogurt cultures (or take Acidophilus), plenty of water, fresh vegetables, lots of protein rich foods, whey protein, raw garlic, nuts, seeds, oils, millet, rice and oat brans
Things you should remove from your diet (to starve the yeast) are all sodas, sugars, fruit, fermented foods, foods containing white flour, alcohol (especially beer), antacids and any product that has yeast or mold
Changing your diet will definitely get you on the road to balancing the yeast and good bacteria, but what I would also recommend is to use a homeopathic solution to help naturally speed up the process.
I always feel if there’s a natural way to do something, then it’s best to avoid the chemicals. I would look for an natural product, that can be taken orally to promote re-growth of the good bacteria in your body.
There are a few out there, I think they are probably all pretty good. One that I have used and was very effective for me was is yeastrol.
Best of Luck!
Hope this helps and best of luck!
