Most men don't even realize that they're at risk for yeast infections at all so I can imagine your surprise at finding out that chronic yeast infections in men are possible! If you think that you may be suffering from chronic infections then you need to read on and get yourself informed on what to look for and what to do about it-pronto! The symptoms of this disease in men can mimic those of other conditions so a doctor's diagnosis may be in order so you can rule out other problems.
You should also know that having an overgrowth of yeast in the body doesn't only mean getting a yeast infection of the genitals - it can actually show up on your skin or wreak havoc with your digestive system and other parts.
In the meantime though, here are some signs you can look for to help you spot chronic infections; - Skin rash that has a well-defined red border and possibly discharge and white spots - Rash on the penis that is flaky, itchy and has white spots - White spots in the mouth, on the tongue or throat (oral thrush) - Athlete's foot - Jock itch The reasons that chronic infections in men occur usually have to do with a low immune system and an inability to keep the yeast in the body under control.
You can also catch this type of disease from a woman through sex.
This overgrowths usually occur on parts of the body that retain too much heat and moisture, like the genitals, between the toes, in skin folds and under the arms.
So your first steps in treating this disease is to do your best to improve your immune system, keep skin clean and dry and wear loose, breathable clothing and practice safe sex.
As well, cutting yeast out of your diet is a must - at least till you have things under control, so watch the beer, breads and sweets.
