DO-IT-YOURSELF TREATMENTS

Akbar A while ago, i received an email from a gentleman who, on the advice of a doctor, had tried using an over-the-counter vaginal cream (Monistat) to treat his penile yeast infection. I guess he just rubbed the stuff on the outside of his penis. Anyway, he said that it didn't work at all until he added a few drops of white vinegar to it to a small blob of cream, and then it worked overnight.

He also warned against applying straight vinegar, which he said "eats right through the skin". 'Nuff said.

Since posting that suggestion, I've received quite a few emails from people whose doctors have recommended applying Monistat directly to the surface of the penis to cure yeast infections. Most say it works fine. So hey, I guess you can go ahead and try it, and if it doesn't start to work in a day or two, try adding a little vinegar. What do you have to lose? (Okay, maybe it could fall off.)

PRESCRIPTION TREATMENTS

Jeff The only tried-and-true method of treating a penile yeast infection is to blast those yeasties with prescription drugs that are ingested systemically and probably have side-effects. Furthermore, procuring such drugs will almost always involve a trip to the doctor. Take heart, though, that your man almost certainly won't be subjected to stirrups and speculums. There are two drugs commonly used to treat penile yeast infections:

Diflucan (fluconazole) which has the advantage of being broad spectrum, so it will kill other species of Candida and some other fungi, but the disadvantage that apparently allergies to it are not uncommon.

Nizoral (ketaconazole) is apparently really broad spectrum, powerfully evil stuff, and kills everything. It can also trash your liver, and reduces the adrenals' ability to make steroids, like testosterone.


Lol at the nizoral.. you could put the shampoo on your penor for a few minutes and wash away.... see if that works... do it for a few days? I am no doctor so it's only a suggestion. Since it is safe on your head, I don't see it being all that bad anywhere else in your body... But you are probably better off just using the Monastat

I've read that stuff of course but would rather hear from someone that has actually had to deal with it since I never trust the internet, I have tried the soap and shampoo thing but doesnt last gone. I'm going to go to the docs so there is less to worry about in the future
