Hi
Yes, a guy can have a yeast infection. Also what you decribe is consistent with non-chlamydial ngu.
A yeast infection in males is typically in the form of a rash. it won't cause urethral discharge in a male.
An urologist is probably your best bet at this point for follow up.
has your bf had full std testing including anal swabbing?

Well he prescribed doxycycline hyclate and recommended an otc yeast infection cream. While I have been on the dh since Friday, I have not noticed a change but the itching did get more severe so I started using the yeast infection cream. Also the head of the penis got really red. I thought dh was for bacterial infections? If that's the case and this turns out to be a fungal infection then is it possible it won't have any effect on the issue and we are back at square one?
well if you didn't have a fungal infection before this, you probably do now from 2 antibiotics :(
if you are still having discharge by midweek, see an urologist.
It almost looks like candida. Since today is a holiday I have to wait until tomorrow for my dr to open. I will continue to take the DH and use the otc antifungal cream.
Just wondering my case is it the same as you (JGTX77). Sometime i will have a large amount of white or milky discharge but not always. Most of the time i notice that when i drink cold drinks or after masturbation might have the white discharge but i think that's normal. I wonder do i need to go to see a doctor or go for any tests?
we'll continue to discuss your situation in your own post you have going - thanks!
I went to the doctor today. He said that while I probably did have a Non-gonococcal urethritis the antibiotic doxycycline hyclate made conditions favorable for a yeast infection. We stopped the DH this morning and I am now on Fluconazole (for the yeast infection) and hydrocodone (for the pain). He said I should notice a change within 4-5 days. I have a 9 day supply. He said if it does not look better by Friday to come in. Change underwear twice a day. Ensure that I am thoroughly dry after I shower. He said that if I can stand it to use the monistat as well. We will see what happens.
they gave you a narcotic for a yeast infection? Dang I gotta start going to your doctor!
yes, I needed the hydrocodone, skin was coming off and it was very painful to sleep, move or even wear underwear.
