Can men have vaginal candidiasis?

When it comes to yeast infection, many people may think that it is a disease that only women can get. In fact, this is not the case. In real life, many male friends may also get yeast infection, so don't be complacent. So, can men get yeast infection? If you want to know about these things, let's take a look!

Can men get yeast infections?

Both men and women may suffer from yeast infection. The probability of men suffering from yeast infection is lower than that of women, but it is very common in clinical medicine. There are two main types of yeast infection in men:

First, urinary tract infections, such as pyelonephritis, urethritis, bladder inflammation, urethritis, etc., can cause back pain, fever, frequent urination, urgency, inability to hold urine, urination pain, hematuria, etc.;

Second, fungal infection in the perineum is manifested by itching of the skin in the perineum. It needs to be rubbed with creams such as Jinda Kning. Most patients can get better and recover in a short time.

Fungus is also a kind of bacteria, which is common in young men aged 20-40. In clinical medicine, the most common one is balanitis caused by fungal infection, which can also cause urinary system infection, such as frequent urination, urgency, inability to hold urine, and painful urination. Balanitis can be seen as itchy glans due to excessive foreskin, which is unbearable; the second is that the glans due to excessive foreskin is red, and some bright red papules can also be seen. Of course, some people have some tofu-like secretions on the glans of the penis due to excessive foreskin. Of course, fungi can also cause inflammation and changes in the skin of the scrotum, leading to swelling of the scrotum, sometimes some dandruff, keratinization, itching and other conditions, which are all relatively common male fungal infections in clinical urology. The most important thing about fungal infection is that it affects the quality of life. Usually, it is uncomfortable due to itching; secondly, it may be very uncomfortable during sexual intercourse, causing pain, and even affecting the quality of sexual intercourse. When fungi are able to cause fungal vaginitis in women through sexual intercourse, it may have some impact on men's fertility. Therefore, men's fungal infections should still be taken seriously, and if there is a problem, go to the hospital clinic immediately for relevant treatment.

How to prevent fungal vaginitis

1. Avoid excessive vaginal cleaning. Under normal circumstances, our vagina (lesions) will maintain the pH balance by itself. Try not to clean the vagina with detergent or disinfectant, or even clean it too much. This may not only destroy the balance of the vaginal environment, but also cause damage to the vagina. Therefore, it is usually sufficient to clean it with warm water.

2. Wear pure cotton breathable jeans. Try to wear pure cotton natural ventilated inner and outer pants as much as possible to maintain comfort. If you have little excretion, try not to use sanitary pads. If you use them, you must change them frequently to prevent the breeding of bacteria.

3. Normal and simple sexual life. Many symptoms of vaginitis are transmitted through sexual intercourse. If there are too many sexual partners, it is difficult to control whether there is infection. Therefore, as long as the sexual life is simple, the probability of infection with specific vaginal diseases will be greatly reduced.

4. Maintaining a happy mood is also a good way to enhance immunity. In addition, your daily life and work schedule should be normal so that the body's immune system can function normally.

5. Eat less irritating foods. Under normal circumstances, our immune system will automatically respond to the invading bacteria, so we usually need to have a healthy and balanced diet, eat less irritating foods, and allow the body's immune system to function normally.
