What are the symptoms of Candida infection in men? Causes of Candida infection

Male candida infection is a fungal disease caused by Candida albicans in men. It is very destructive and can quickly infect the skin and mucous membranes and can also penetrate into the internal organs. The two most common syndromes in men after infection with this disease are mucocutaneous candidiasis and invasive or deep organ candidiasis. Therefore, many male patients are likely to be infected with sexual diseases once they are infected. What are the symptoms and clinical manifestations of male candida infection?

Causes

The pathogen of this disease is Candida, which is not only widely present in nature, but also can parasitize on the normal human skin, oral cavity, gastrointestinal tract, anus and vaginal mucosa without causing disease. It is a typical conditional pathogen. Candida albicans is the main pathogen of this disease. Under normal circumstances, this bacterium is oval in shape, in a symbiotic state with the body, and does not cause disease. In addition, there are a few other pathogens in the genus Candida, such as Candida krusei, Candida asteroides, and Candida tropicalis. The pathogenicity of Candida is relative. The source of Candida infection can be exogenous, that is, Candidiasis can be infected by contact with external bacteria. Candida infection can also be acquired from the hospital environment; but most infections are endogenous infections, that is, Candida in the oropharynx, digestive tract, vagina, etc. Normal flora turns into pathogenic phase due to changes in internal and external environment and decreased immune function of human body, thus causing infection.

Clinical manifestations

Candida infection has no gender difference and can affect any age group, including unborn fetuses. The infection can invade almost all tissues and organs of the human body. Involvement of multiple systems or organs leads to disseminated candidiasis, including candidal bloodstream infection.
