All of us have bacterial yeast in our body, and anyone can experience penile yeast infection if we do not take care of our body well. A man who is healthy has a lower amount of yeast on the skin of his sex organ. However, the yeast infection can be triggered by some factors like wrong diet and neglect of personal hygiene.
When this happens, the amount of yeast can multiply in a large proportion. When the yeast has become numerous and remain unattended to, this may result to penile yeast infection or medically termed homeostasis. This overgrowth of candida is considered a serious medical condition, and if not given an immediate cure can make your life miserable.
Men who are afflicted with yeast infection suffer from extreme and prolonged itchiness, dryness and uncomfortable urination. In serious cases of candida overgrowth or fungal infection, your penis can have blisters on the penile head as well as fresh lesions. This can impair your sexual activity in this case because naturally, it would be painful.
This could also turn-off your partner if she sees lesions and penile yeast infection in your penis. Having sex with a woman makes the temperature of your penis rise which induces the yeast to multiply faster. If you indulge in sex with a woman who has a vaginal disorder, this can also trigger your penile yeast infection.
This is because at the time of intercourse, the bacteria-causing yeast infection that resides in the vaginal cavity can transfer to the head of your penis upon contact. When the cells enter the part of the penis called urethra, it can go as far as infecting your prostate. As soon as the penis becomes exposed in a woman’s yeast infection, symptoms occur.
Penile yeast infection symptoms vary in different individuals, but anyone can experience the common signs of pain and discomfort. It includes cracked dry skin at the penis, fresh lesions and blisters. In severe cases, the blisters can bleed and crack causing extreme pain when urinating.
Another unpleasant and embarrassing side-effect of penile yeast infection is the discharging of a white, creamy substance from the penis head which emits a foul odor. Even if you take a bath for hours, this bad odor will still come out of your body that makes it difficult for you to hide your penile yeast infection. The best thing to do is consult your doctor immediately.
