How do you treat Penile Yeast Infection?

What is the easiest way of treating a Penile Yeast Infection? My girlfriend had thrush and thought she had gotten ridd of it, now it's been passed on to me.

What are the easiest ways to treat this?

I'm currently using hydrocortisone after seeing it suggested on the internet.

Thanks.

 

Go see a doctor.

Stop any topical or systemic corticosteroid use immediately. It's not helping and could be harming you. I don't know what kind of research you did to come by that answer, but corticosteroid use predisposes to overgrowth of Candida.

Candidal urethritis in men with functioning immune systems is uncommon and would only be tested for after excluding other possible causes. N. gonorrhea and Chlamydia trach. are far more likely causes and often occur together. Your doctor will give you two antibiotics for these infections and perform a culture to confirm the diagnosis.

Your girlfriend should also be tested, as many people can be asymptomatic carriers. N. gonnorrhea in particular can damage female reproductive structures and threaten fertility if left untreated.

2 suggestions:
for bad case - honey,
for mild case and prevention - vinegar

 

add 2 cups flour, 1 cup water, teaspoon salt, two teaspoons honey, knead thoroughly.

allow to "rise" for 2 hours, punch down, allow to rise again until doubled in size.

bake at high temperature for 10 minutes.
