Yeast Infections
- Thread starter Glen or Glenda?

Some women seem more susceptible to them than others. One young woman I used to know had sex with condom with her new boyfriend normally 2-3 times minimum per day, and would get yeast infections all the time. She was advised to cut down the beer and bread, but it was also suggested it was the frequency of the activity that was likely contributing.
Many times yeast infections and blatter infections can be confusing.
Yeast infections have a white creamy discharge, while a blatter infection shows signs through it hurting when you pee, with a constant need to pee with mininal urain void.
Yeast infections - plain yogart as a natural medicine.
Blatter infection - plain yogart *as above* and cranberry juice. NOT the sweatened kind as it can add to the infection. There is something in cranberry's that put a slimmy like film on the inside of the kidneys so bacteria can not land and stay.
If in doubt see your doctor. Long term with either of these could result in bigger problems.

Thought cranberry juice was highly acidic and that was what was desired when getting rid of a urinary track infection.

Missy, this really made me laugh...(Sorry, I have a weird sense of humor)
Are you really that flexible????????????
One thing that no one seems to have mentioned is that men can & often do get yeast or fungal infections as well. "Jock itch" is an example. Sometimes men are not informed about this & they leave their yeast infection untreated. I saw a client recently who had an extremely bad, very visible yeast infection, & I had to severely limit his service because of it.
Some people are more prone to these types of infections than others, & many factors, such as a diet high in sugar, (& starch & yeast), the type of underwear you wear, or taking antibiotics, can contribute to their prevalence.
I recommend a combination of treatments for the best results, including OTC medication & cream/ointment, & natural therapies, such as probiotics.
*Warning: some creams for the treatment of yeast infections are not recommended for safe use with latex condoms.

I think on men it's called Candidas-Balanitis (sp?) - and generally found in uncut men in the foreskin. Though I'm cut, so I wouldn't know... lol.
The problem with bladder infections is some are STI's, and some aren't... but both can share similar symptoms. Though generally I think bladder infections clear up fairly quickly on their, where as STI's don't and the symptoms linger for weeks. But I'm not a doctor, so I'm not sure honestly.
That's why it's important to get tested on a regular basis!
Every once in a blue moon I get slight jock itch I guess, which is usually a combination of shaving the balls and having a long rigorous sex session shortly there-after. I use Viaderm which was prescribed to me by my urologist after my circumcision to reduce the swelling and to shorten the healing process, but I never really had to use it on the scar line, since I'm lucky to be a quick healer naturally. It's an anti-inflammatory corticosteroid, basically a steroid. So you shouldn't be using it on a regular basis.
