7 Male Yeast Infection Home Remedies You Must Try

Yes, women get the traditional yeast infections. But just because you’re male doesn’t mean that you are immune to it.

The most common yeast infection is from several different strains of Candida, and they may not be as innocuous as you think. Some types of Candida infections can cause death in up to 47% of all people who have the blood-borne variety. The organism invades tissues and can become an infection in the blood that occurs in hospitals.

What would make you susceptible to developing these? Here’s a short list:

* sexual partner with vaginal yeast infection
* frequent use of antibiotics
* catheter use
* prosthetic implants that collect the Candida
* history of chemotherapy, corticosteroids, and immunomodulator drugs

As you can see, the medical prognosis can be quite grim, depending on the type of yeast infection. So what can you do? Well, you can approach it from a natural healing standpoint. There are things to do and other things not to do in order to impact the growth of the yeast.

Your goal is to get the yeast count back down to the normal number it should be. When you hit the right number, the other flora in the body will keep it in check. Why this works is because your body actually has more bacteria living in and on it than you have cells in your body. The flora protects you from disease invaders.

Here’s a natural healing protocol that can be used to reduce the numbers of Candida:

* 1. Go on a Candida diet. This diet can eliminate the symptoms such as chronic fatigue, memory loss, gas, bloating, constipation, headaches, diarrhea, depression, and sugar cravings. A Candida diet eliminates all sugars, as sugar feeds the yeast and makes it grow like wild. Also eliminated are the following:

* beer
* honey
* fried foods
* soy sauce
* mushrooms
* coffee / tea
* peanuts
* pistachios
* alcohol
* miso soup
* citric acid
* gluten
* dairy products (except raw)
* foods made with yeast
* vinegar
* fermented foods
* dried fruits
