Genital fungus in men

Symptoms for male candida

Yeast infection is a common disease that affects both men and women. It is caused by a yeast fungus called Candida albicans. Most people who develop a yeast infection are basically healthy, but the natural balance of the skin flora is disturbed.

Early symptoms of genital fungus in men include itching at the tip of the penis, a sore and inflamed penis tip, swollen foreskin, and itching or burning during urination or sexual intercourse.

Prevention of genital fungus in men

Although a fungal infection on the penis is easily treated, you should still take precautions to minimize the risk of infection. It is important to maintain good genital hygiene to keep the body clean and free of harmful germs and bacteria. Regular washing of the genitals will ensure that the reproductive organs are clean and remain healthy.

Here are some tips:

  • During intensive, sweaty exertion (sports, hiking, gardening), do not wear sweaty underwear on your body longer than necessary and change it several times a day if necessary.
  • Wear loose fitting clothes and not too tight, breathable cotton underpants
  • Avoid irritating, perfumed soaps and shower gels in the intimate area
  • Clean the penis regularly and dry it thoroughly after washing
  • Take showers instead of long baths in the tub
