Tips On How to Treat a Yeast infection in a Man

A yeast infection is not limited to one gender or the other, it can occur just as easily in a man or a woman. Although vaginal yeast infections are more common, penile yeast infection is also a possibility. What exactly is a yeast infection?

The human body can contain certain healthy amounts of different microorganisms. However, sometimes this balance can be disrupted, for instance by poor hygiene or other factors. Bodily changes or changes in the bodily environment may favor the growth of one microorganism over another, resulting in imbalance. Such is what happens with yeast infections.

Physical changes in the genital environment can make it more conducive to the growth and proliferation of yeast. These changes can be caused by different things. For instance, pregnant women experience hormonal changes that help to make the vaginal area a more fertile ground for yeast. This is why yeast infections are a common symptom among pregnant women, especially near midterm.

Other possible causes include diabetes and the taking of antibiotics. Diabetics have greater amounts of sugar in their urine and sugar is what yeast likes to feed on. Antibiotics, on the other hand, when used for prolonged periods, may kill off the other microorganisms that compete with yeast. This would yield to the faster growth of yeast, and thus the beginnings of a yeast infection.

Vaginal yeast infections can also be transmitted to males through sexual intercourse. Physical contact is enough to transmit the yeast. In some cases, sexual partners may pass the yeast infection back and forth. Cleanliness and hygiene is important to make sex safer. But cleaning up and clearing up the yeast infection before engaging in further sexual activity may be a safer bet.

How are yeast infections treated? A common natural cure involves yogurt. Yogurt contains a bacterium that occurs naturally in healthy vaginas called Lactobacillus acidophilus. This bacterium produces hydrogen peroxide, which kills yeast. Thus, introducing more of this bacterium into the infected area, either by eating more yogurt or applying it topically, will help control the yeast population.

Another natural substance that can kill yeast is garlic. Garlic actually contains some antifungal components that can target yeast and help curb the infection. These remedies are easy and cheap to implement, but they may not be able to handle more severe yeast infections. These natural remedies may prove sufficient for cases where the infection is still small and undeveloped, but may fail for more advanced infections.

For severer infections, medications in the form of topical creams or suppositories (obviously, not for the males) may be better choices. Over the counter drugs are available mostly for female patients of yeast infections, but they may also work for male infections.

If self-treatment does not work, doctors can prescribe antibiotics to clear a yeast infection in man or woman out effectively. These antibiotics are usually taken orally, meaning that they are equally applicable for both sexes. In addition to being able to prescribe these antibiotics, a doctor would also be able to determine with certainty whether or not some other infection may be causing the symptoms. These other infections may turn out to be more serious than yeast infections, and require immediate medical assistance.

However many men do find the chemical methods of treating a yeast infection can be quite harsh on the body, especially their skin. There are many very effective natural methods out there for treating yeast infections, which are far more gentle on the body and often more effective also.

FA Cup Fourth Round Betting Review

Striker DJ Campbell, last seasons FA Cup hero with non-league Yeading, dumped Premiership strugglers Sunderland out of the FA Cup to secure Brentfords spot in the last 16 for the second time in as many years.

The 5,000 summer signing opened the scoring after 57 minutes only for Argentinean midfielder Julio Arca to equalise for Sunderland. However, Campbell became the hero in the 89 minute, netting the winning goal to set up a memorable win for the 11/4 Bees.

Bolton Wanderers extended Arsenals away day blues with a 1-0 win at the Reebok Stadium. The bookmakers priced this match according to Arsenals reputation, rather than their performances this season. Bolton were as large as 2/1 before kick-off, an insult considering they beat the Gunners 2-0 in league duty back in December. Greek international Stelios scored the decisive goal with six minutes remaining.

Shortest price of the day unsurprisingly was Chelsea at 1/2 but they will have spoiled a few betting coupons after a 1-1 draw at Everton. The Toffees, priced up as 11/2 before kick-off, took the lead through James McFadden but a 73 minute equaliser from Frank Lampard took the tie to a replay at Stamford Bridge.

League One high flyers Colchester United sent another Championship side packing in Derby County. Colchester were 11/8 favourites and found themselves 3-0 up through Neil Danns and Richard Garcia. A penalty from Tommy Smith 11 minutes from time was the Rams only reply.

Leyton Orient will have had their supporters at 10/1 to beat Charlton Athletic. Jon Fortune gave the Addicks an early lead but the League Two side hit back through veteran Lee Steele. Charlton, 2/7 jollies before kick off, needed a stoppage time winner from Jay Bothroyd to spare their blushes.

The scent of an upset hung in the air before the lunch-time clash between League Two side Cheltenham Town and Newcastle United. Despite their efforts, Newcastle scored two goals in as many minutes just before half-time through Michael Chopra and Scott Parker to justify their odds of 8/15.

Rank outsiders on the day, 14/1 Port Vale, gave Aston Villa a scare with five minutes remaining to claw the score back to 2-1, although highly-rated midfielder ensured there would be no upset with a third goal in the 90 minute to please the big hitters who waded in at 1/4.

Better finishing could have earned Coventry City a shock 5/2 win over Middlesbrough but the tie ended all square at 1-1, extending Coventrys unbeaten run at the Ricoh Arena to eight matches.

On Sunday, Manchester United were shorter still at 4/9 but did not disappoint against Wolves, brushing aside the Championship team 3-0 at Molineux. Two goals from Kieron Richardson and another from a resurgent Louis Saha inflicted Glenn Hoddles heaviest defeat as Wolves manager.

Liverpool were also short at 8/15 to win away at Portsmouth and they didnt disappoint with two first half goals from Steven Gerrard and John Arne Riise. Sean Davis pulled a goal back for Portsmouth nine minutes into the second half but the Reds held firm.
