Are Men Also Susceptible to Yeast Infections?

June 11th, 2009 | Add a Comment

Yeast infection cannot be accused of gender discrimination – it can and does attack men and women with equal vigor. All that it requires is a warm and moist environment with preferably little or no air circulation.

But this is only a widely held misconception and has no real scientific base. Perhaps this misconception that yeast infection is a “female” disease prevents men to come out in the open and admit that they have indeed been infected and this makes it even more difficult for them to get rid of it and be cured completely. The symptoms and cure are, obviously, exactly the … Read entire article »

January 9th, 2009 | Add a Comment

Untreated Candida infections are quite rare, and that’s because of the itching and burning associated with them. But even with the irritating symptoms of a vaginal Candida infection some sufferers will still try and see if their infection will disappear if they try and forget about it.
