Male yeast Infection…?

Filed under Symptoms For Yeast Infections

I’m a very healthy 20 year old white male. I contracted what I believe was a yeast infection from a partner roughly 6 months ago. She treated it with a course of monistat and I treated mine with a 1% tolfinate powder spray and what was left of her 2% miconazole nitrate cream. It cleared the symptoms. Ever since then I will randomly become slightly irritated/red after stimulation whether it be masturbation, protected/unprotected sex, oral, etc. I’m circumcised and it is only irritated on the glans and above the circumcision scar, the shaft shows no signs at all. Its been very mild and barely noticeable up until my recent partner. We’ve had unprotected sex frequently, one night I laid inside of her for about an hour after sex and I believe it made the yeast infection symptoms very prominent again. I have a slight burning during urination that I’ve not experienced before. I began to treat it with a 2% miconazole nitrate powder spray, soaking in apple cider vinegar, and a homeopathic yeast/fungal detox. I’ve been treating it for almost 2 weeks, using the spray twice a day, soaking in a diluted vinegar solution every other day, and doubling up on the recommended dose of the detox capsules and the symptoms are nearly gone, but not to the point where i think they should be after two weeks. I still become very red and irritated even after the most gentle masturbation. Am I correct in assuming that this is a yeast infection that I didn’t fully clear up or are these signs of something different? Should I continue treating it this way or should I add/remove anything?

She began to feel a burning during urination and I immediately got a 1 day monistat treatment to try to knock it out as quickly as possible. Since then we’ve had sex 1 time with a condom and it really irritated her and caused her some dryness that she hadn’t had before. She’s beginning to use the 2% miconazole nitrate cream now. Is there anything else she should be doing?
going to a doctor is economically unfeasible….thats why im trying to find a cure online…id love to see a doctor, but i just cannot afford at this moment

You never self treat any infection. The reason being is you never know when it’s gone. you can carry the infection for al ong time even if you don’t have symptoms so you two pass it back and fourth (lets hope you haven’t been having oral).
Yeast infections take around 2-3 weeks with anti-biotics to fully go away.

You need to talk to a doctor. Never self treat… you could have a whole different type of infection. So don’t self diagnose let alone self treat. Talk to a doctor and get proper medication.

And unless you want to keep passing it back and fourth and getting it stop having sex untill both of you have been treated by a doctor.

    Okay well it’s your choice not to see a doctor… then just continue to have some mystery infection (which you have no idea if it is actually a yeast infection… unless you have a med degree you haven’t mentioned.
    What if it’s’ not a yeast infection? What if it’s something else spreading in your body. THEN you won’t be able to pay for where that is going to go.
    Stop having sexual contact and get it looked at. Go to a free clinic at least.

    Also it can be a UTI which if left can spread to your bladder and then kidneys and become life threatening.
