Cream For Male Yeast Infections

Are There Any Over The Counter Treatments to Try?

If you are dealing with a penile yeast infection, it makes sense to treat the infection where it is the most annoying. Especially if you are having symptoms such as discharge or white patches. 

There are specific medications that can be prescribed by your doctor and are to be recommended for treating severe penile yeast infections.  However, if you want to give the OTC route a try, here is an idea some people on the internet have tried.

Monistat is marketed for female yeast infections since they tend to get them more readily.  However, men can also use it since its active ingredients can be used to fight any type of topical yeast infection.

It May Take More Than Cream

A penile yeast infection may be a sign of several things.  It may mean that your partner is suffering from a yeast infection, or that you have had a latent infection for awhile that has only recently become active due to a suppressed immune system such as a major illness (diabetes, HIV) or antibiotic treatment. 

Additionally, a penile yeast infection may be an indicator of a larger, systemic yeast growth that the rest of your body is suffering from.  In order to prevent a reoccurring infections, you may want to consider doing a full-body yeast cure and eliminate yeast from the rest of your body.
