And the truth is that the number one cause of a yeast infection for men is by catching it from a woman you’re having sex with.
But there are tons of other ways you could get one.
Other risk factors include:
- Having a weak immune system due to HIV, under active thyroid gland, chronic stress or a slew of other disorders.
- Taking antibiotics, which wipe out the good bacteria in the penis and crotch, which would normally keep an overgrowth of yeast at bay.
- Diabetes. This raises sugar levels in the urine, which which makes for an awesome “yeast breeding” environment
- Exposure to Nonoxynol-9. This is a chemical found in a wide variety of detergents, cosmetics, lubricants in condoms and in contraceptives. It was once thought to protect against STDs including HIV, but studies have shown that it damages the physical barriers of the rectum and vagina, leading to infections.
- A diet that’s too yeast friendly. Lot’s of men don’t realize that they’re eating foods that are practically inviting a yeast infection. These foods include starchy simple carbohydrates, and foods that are particularly yeasty, like lots of bread and beer.
Any and all of these factors could contribute to your getting a yeast infection for men. By lowering your body’s resistance and/or bringing you in contact with an overgrowth of yeast, these factors turn your body into the kind of place yeast love to hang out on… and have no interest in leaving.
