Candida and
Men...
Most people
think of fungal
yeast infections
or Candida
albicans (also
known as Thrush
and Balanitis)
as only a female
issue, however,
men frequently
develop the
condition.
Candida in men
occurs in the
groin area; it
can cause
soreness,
itching, and
redness of the
head of the
penis, scrotum,
and foreskin.
Many times,
small white
spots on the
penis, burning
sensations
during
intercourse, and
transient rashes
may identify the
ailment. Due to
the fact that
Candida thrives
in warm, sweaty,
and irritated
skin,
uncircumcised
men are actually
more likely to
develop Candida.
In some cases,
the foreskin
even swells and
cracks due to
the yeast
allergy. In
addition, not
only does, the
fungal yeast
thrive on the
high sugar
content found in
men with
diabetes, it can
also result as
an allergic
reaction to
perfumes, dyes,
soaps, and
shower gels.
Plain unscented
soaps are highly
encouraged for
bathing, as are
warm sitz baths
infused with
several drops of
Tea Tree oil (Melaleuca
alternifolia.).
On an internal
note, drinking
pure,
unsweetened
cranberry juice,
diluted with
water may keep
the urinary
tract of the
penis clear
while the
external skin
heals. Also, the
avoidance of
milk, mushrooms,
caffeine, sugar
and bread is
also
recommended.
Some holistic
practitioners
suggest the
ingestion of raw
garlic. One
should first
seek alternative
medical
consultation
before
ingestion, due
to the heating
nature of garlic
and its
indigestion-causing
properties.
