Yeast Infection is a concern for everyone since around 75% of the population suffers from some form of this infection. Yeast infection can cause diaper rash and mouth sores in babies. It can also cause skin rashes in skin folds below the breasts and stomach in adults. Common among women is vaginal Yeast infection. But men are not spared from genital yeast infection. In fact, any part of the body can be affected by yeast infection internally and externally. Since Yeast infection can cause extreme discomfort, it is important to learn how to prevent it. To prevent yeast infection, one must understand the nature of yeast infection and its root causes. A valuable information is that yeast is always present in normal human skin and in areas such as the mouth and vagina. The yeast becomes harmful when some conditions are developed that trigger yeast infection.

Understanding Male Yeast Infections
Yeast infections seems to be thought of as primarily as a "women's complaint". A male patient
who came into our clinic for treatment with his yeast infection had consulted a medical doctor, only
to be told that "only women get yeast infections". Nothing could be further from the truth, male
yeast infections are widely and commonly misunderstood.
In my experience, it is easier for women to discover they have a yeast infection, much more easily
than men. Why? Because women are more happy to visit their doctor when their health starts to
deteriorate much more quickly than a male will. many guys seem to think they are "bullet proof"
and continue on feeling lousy until they experience major health problems. Like the 38yr old man
who saw me a few years ago complaining of bleeding from the bowel. This symptom occured for
over one year before he consulted me, and I immediately called a gastroenterologist I know and
made an appointment, who soon after diagnosed bowel cancer in this man. Why did this man not
see a doctor earlier? The reply was "I didn't feel any pain and didn't think that it was an issue".
Many guys will go through their lives with flatus, gas, burping, diarrhoea or constipation, itchy skin,
and a host of other symptoms and think nothing of it. This makes a candida or fungal infection
extremely difficult to detect since men are built different than women. Once a woman develops a
vaginal discharge, she knows generally that things are probably amiss and visits her doctor. Guys
on the other hand (in general) may have absolutely no idea they may have a male yeast infection
until it creates other problems in several areas of their body. In most cases, it will be the male's
partner who alerts him to the fact that something is "not quite right" in his private department,
because the chances are that she has an infection too. Her doctor, if he does correctly diagnose a
yeast infection, will want to treat them both to stop the cross-infection from occurring.
Common Causes Of Male Yeast Infections
The most common ways for men to not only get but to maintain a yeast infection are lifestyle and
diet. I have found that dietary habits such as beer, alcohol, sweets, chocolate, cookies (biscuits)
and various snack and sweet foods are some of the main triggers. Other factors include the use
(and abuse) of antibiotics and prescription drugs, sexual relations (without adequate hygeine there

2. after) and stress or burn-out.
Stress and Burn-Out
A little know cause of a yeast infection is stress and burn-out (which lowers immunity and causes
adrenal fatigue). I can highly recommend that you read my articles on stress, burn-out and adrenal
fatigue online as these are some of the most powerful causes in the 21st century of many different
health complaints. Men are working harder and under more stress than ever. Guys, are you really
looking after your body?
A weakened immune system allows a yeast infection to proliferate and this will occur by way of
several mechanisms. For example, the hormone called cortisol will become low which is vital for a
powerful immune response and a body which is slightly acidic will allow a yeast infection to
continue unabated. The "good" bacteria become weakened and overpowered by the bad bacteria
and yeast, allowing an overgrowth to occur in the intestinal tract.
Snacks Can Lead To Yeast Infections
Guys are prone to refrigerator snacking, my father was a big man and couldn't resist a snack or
two most nights. He was always on the hunt for something out of the kitchen cupboards (usually
home baking, cookies, a chocolate bar, etc) or out of the refrigerator (ice cream, cold cuts,
sausages, left-overs, etc). Dad had a bad case of candida yeast infection and had several trips to
the doctor and was also referred to the gastroenterologist due to his constant diarrhoea, gas and
bloating. He was always scratching his groin and I can remember the gas and his feet were very
offensive to the nose indeed!
Do you snack? Are the yeasts "calling your name" at night or after a meal, are you the guy who
wants something sweet quite regularly? Then you will almost certainly have a yeast infection. Bear
this in mind: that snack you took from the refrigerator which was left overnight has probably started
to grow molds and spores on it. You probably didn't warm it thoroughly in that microwave and
bingo - you just transferred bugs into your susceptible digestive tract. More yeast, and so the cycle
continues on. The yeast parasite demands to be fed on a regular basis and you will more than
likely feed it, until you realise you have it, and do something about it. This will only come when you
have read about a yeast infection or actually had a stool analysis which screens for candida. You
had a BIG problem if your stool test can actually culture candida, which tells me you are passing
live and active yeast into your bowel motions.
These common food products in your fridge are universally contaminated with molds and fungus.
We all unknowingly eat them thinking they are perfectly safe, they maybe to those with a strong
digestion, but for those with a yeast infection they are food. Yeast is naturally occurring in your
body, and it is only when the good bacteria to yeast ratio in your digestive system becomes
unbalanced, allowing the yeast fungi to thrive which then spread to other parts of your body.
Men Who Drink Beer Are More Prone To Yeast Infections And Prostatitis
You are most probably aware that alcohol is produced by yeast fermentation. Wine has an alcohol
content of about 12 percent which is sufficient to kill the yeast. The heat produced to distill spirits
like whiskey, vodka and cognac kills any yeast residue. With beer, the alcohol content rarely

3. exceeds 6%, so there is often live yeast left behind. When you drink beer containing live yeast, it
can remain live in digestive system and translocate into your body and affect your immune system.
Most guys who drink plenty of beer will have their own "mobile brewery" happening inside their
digestive system.
Some men never really seem to be affected by this brewer's yeast, or are only affected by certain
brands of beers, whilst others can start to suffer pretty bad only days after only a few beers. Do
you drink beer and suffer from prostatitis? The live yeast can may make your life quite miserable,
and it won't be until you quit that beer habit for some time that you really notice the connection.
The type of enlarged prostate from beer consumption is different from other forms of benign
prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate, or BPH) in that it will subside once the prostatitis (and
alcohol consumption) is remedied. At times you may well have prostatitis and yet your Urologist
will do all the tests and tell you everything is OK. This can be truly bewildering, especially when
the pain is intense. Many cases of prostatitis test negative, and you well could be in pain and
discomfort but the lab test say there is nothing wrong. So, if you enjoy a regular good brew, and
you suffer from prostatitis, prostate pain, or irritation, it could very well be the yeast residue in your
brew that is causing your problems. My advice? If you have a prostate problem AND drink beer,
then stop all beer for some time and focus on restoring your digestive system and allow time to
eradicate yeast from your system properly.
Antibiotics
Incredible as it may seem, some patients I see with yeast infections have been treated dozens of
times with an antibiotic. In fact, many cases of yeast infections have their origin after an antibiotic
was prescribed by a doctor. Personally, I would never prescribe an antibiotic for a patient, and if I
ever did it would be for a case of pneumonia of bacterial origin. Every medical clinic I have worked
in, antibiotics are routinely prescribed - even by doctors who have studied natural medicine and
who claim to be "natural doctors". It is almost that they fall back instinctively on their "germ theory"
training and believe that the only way to get a patient right is to "kill those nasty germs" with an
antibiotic.
How many times did you go to your doctor for a chest cold, a case of sinus, a skin infection or
what ever it may have been, and you were prescribed an antibiotic? You obeyed your doctor and
took the prescribed course of antibiotics for ten days, but what you may not have been aware of at
the time is that those drugs wiped out significant amounts of beneficial bacteria as well as the bad.
You didn't kill all the good guys, just lots of them, and you weakened your immune system too.
You continued on and discovered that your cough or chest cold went away pretty quick, great you
thought to yourself: "that doctor was right, those drugs did work".
Little did you know that you only weakened your system further, making you increasingly
susceptible for a further infection in time. Meanwhile, your life continued on - a beer here or there,
the same amount of stress, a few cookies or snacks from the fridge. More beneficial bacteria die
and more yeasts start to thrive, the scales are slowly tipped in favour of the bad. Then you get sick
again - more antibiotics. The bottom line is that you slide down a slope towards a yeast infection, it
does not happen overnight, it happens gradually over a period of time and your immune system
gradually gets worn down by the main causative factors along with a constant introduction of
molds into your body. That is when you begin to experience some of the symptoms of a yeast

4. infection.
Common Male Yeast Infection Symptoms
Common signs and symptoms males experience with a yeast infection are male-associated
urinary/sexual problems: jock itch, loss of sex drive, impotence, prostatitis, penis infections,
difficulty urinating, urinary frequency or urgency, painful intercourse, sexual dysfunction, a swollen
scrotum, etc. Is the male a beer drinker? Suspect candida if he drinks beers regularly and
complains of prostatitis, itchy skin, burping, bloating, and other symptoms listed here.
Other signs and symptoms of male yeast infection are constipation, bad breath, bloating,
indigestion, frequent intestinal gas, frequent diarrhea, very loose stools, irritability and mood
swings, fatigue or lack of energy, memory loss, dry itchy flaky skin. As I mentioned earlier, the
male will also probably develop a craving for sweets, pastas, chips, etc. In addition, check out the
signs and symptoms of a candida yeast infection page.
The Solution To Male Yeast Infection
The best way to tackle a yeast infection if you are a male is to tackle it systemically, which means
you will need to treat the "whole person" and not just the presentation. You need the right diet and
lifestyle. Stay with your walking program, and do seek professional help if need be
