Men can be contaminated too

Women are more likely to be infected with yeast however, there is no basis in saying that men are safe from this condition. Men could be infected with yeast infection as well most especially if they are in constant contact with someone who is infected with it.
Symptoms would include itchiness and rashes around the affected areas, burning and pain in the penis, and pain during sexual intercourse. Condoms laced with nonoxynol-9 latex could trigger yeast infection as well. It is therefore advised to always check the label of the condoms to avoid it.
Drug-based treatments are readily available in the form of topical solutions and creams, oral drugs as well as through IV for severe cases. Once infected, men should avoid wearing tight pants and underwear. The area should be well ventilated to avoid warmth and moisture -- where yeast bacteria thrive.
Men may also opt for alternative remedies. One popular natural cure is the apple cider vinegar. Put one cup of vinegar to warm bath water in a tub, and then soak in it for 20 minutes. The vinegar may also be directly applied to the infected area using a cotton ball. A small amount of minced garlic may be mixed with the vinegar to avoid the stinging sensation. Raw garlic juice, tea tree oil, and the herbal essence of olive leaf and grape fruit seed extract mixed with water may be used as alternatives.
Yogurt, which contains live lactobacillus acidophilus bacteria, may also be applied in the infected area. Allow the yogurt to sit for about 20 minutes. This kind of bacteria is used to produce hydrogen peroxide and is a good means for an antibacterial product. The alternative treatments should be administered twice a day to ensure its effectiveness.
