Yeast infection in males

[yesyes999]

can a male develope a yeast infection in his penis by receiving oral sex - in other words does having someone give me a blow job cause a yeast infection? Thanks guys

you can't treat this until you know for sure what it is.

plenty of otc jock itch meds if you are in the US if it turns out to be that.

is there a treatment I can do for this other than seing a doc?

[gracefromHHP]

what is normal yeast in the mouth, isn't always so normal in the genital area. we also always have yeast on our bodies and it's easy for it to over grow and cause things like jock itch too. no way to know if you got it from oral sex with someone or if it happened on its own.

Yeah i need to do that.  Ive self diagnosed yeast infec. I have some symtoms: pain in head, itchy scrotal, red balls - kind of a crawling feeling.

No discharge and no smell though

Ive been tested for G&GC - neg. there and No herpes. Besides yeast could this be anything more?

have you called your local health department to see what your local low cost options are for being seen?

[yesyes999]

I have symptoms and wondering if she gave ti to me - I don't have insurance so seeing a doc is a pricey deal

[gracefromHHP]

time until symptoms can vary.

any particular reason why you are asking about this?

[yesyes999]

thanks- and typically how long would it take for symptoms to show? Will it cure on its own or do I need to see a doc?

[gracefromHHP]

yes it can.
