Whenever people hear about a yeast infection, they only think about women.
Even the medical community jumps on board by invalidating the need for male yeast infection treatment.
They argue this is an unnecessary step since the infection is not considered a sexually transmitted disease (STD).
The problem with this distinction is it is possible for men to get infected.
The infection can be spread to you during sex by reintroducing yeast to your vaginal area.
Since the medical community is not on your side, the problem is how to convince your man to get treated.
The first thing you can do is to talk to the man in your life.
This is not always easy as most women are embarrassed about yeast infections.
It is important to remember it is highly common to get these infections.
It does not say anything about your hygienic practices or your sexual promiscuity.
These are all important points you can bring up when talking to your man.
Explain to your man about the discomfort you go through every time you get an infection.
Tell him about the burning during sex.
If he feels the infection may cause you to not want sex, this may push him to take action.
This is not just a scare tactic as women with recurring yeast infections have gotten to the point where it is simply too painful to have sex.
If your man cares about the way you feel, he will get treated.
One excuse men will use not to get treated is they do not feel any symptoms of a yeast infection.
Most men who get a yeast infection will not feel anything at all.
Only on very rare occasions will the infection get so bad they will have pain or white spots on their genitals.
This does not change the fact they are infected by yeast.
Their denial about their infection will cause them to continuously reintroduce yeast into your system.
It is much simpler to simply commit to a male yeast infection treatment.
In most cases the male yeast infection treatment is as simple as your man using an anti-fungal.
This can be applied to the penis.
There are even oral solutions your man can use to clear up the infection.
Most of these are available in over the counter products which do not even require a prescription from a doctor.
If you are able to convince your man to see the doctor, it is possible for the doctor to get you both started on the same medication.
This is because it is the same strain of yeast.
For those men who refuse to use any kind of medication, you can sneak in a treatment through their diet.
Introduce certain types of bacteria in foods which will wipe out the yeast.
This includes the bacterium which is used in yogurt.
You can also switch over to milk which contains acidophilus.
Serving more cranberry juice to your man as well as preparing dishes loaded with raw garlic are other great ways to naturally wipe out the infection.
