Fungal infection in the vagina is usually a woman’s disorder. Women itch on a normal basis and this is not a new phenomenon to them. Sometimes women have sex and do normal activities without knowing that they have yeast infection. How about men? Is it possible for genital yeast infection to occur in a male when he has intercourse with a woman who is infected with yeast in her genitals?  Yes. Apparently, a certain percentage of males contract yeast infection when they have sex with a woman who has it without wearing a condom. However, men should remember that male genital yeast infection is rare and occurs infrequently. Transmission of yeast infections through sex is uncommon but possible.

Men can prevent yeast infection by wearing condoms when they regularly have sex with multiple women. Even when the girl professes that she’s on the pill, a man must still wear a condom to avoid being infected. Remember that hormonal surges in women, particularly those on the pill, may cause yeast infection. And, the fact is, women don’t usually know that they have it so it goes untreated. A man may also check his partner’s discharge for tell tale signs of yeast infection, such as the thickness of the white discharge, an uncommonly foul smell and redness (because of scratching).

If a man gets infected, he can go to the doctor and as a prescription for an antifungal cream. Several sources disclose that the creams that work for women will also treat genital fungal infections in men. As with other sexually transmitted diseases, care must be taken not to blame the other person for the disease. Instead a man should inform the woman tactfully that he got genital fungal infection from her so that she can find a way to treat her disease too.

Sexual dysfunction is more common in elderly men (fifty years old and above) because these men are more prone to physical disorders that are important risk factors of impotence. Some of these diseases include hypertension, diabetes and declining mental functions. Hypertension prevents blood from properly reaching the sex organs, while diabetes could prevent the different body systems from functioning properly. A healthy mind is also needed to be stimulated erotically.

Although a lot of factors have to be considered before a man showing erectile dysfunction symptoms can be diagnosed with physically induced ED, it is highly probable that the sexual disorder is being caused by the diseases and the drugs that are being prescribed to the men with these diseases. When your antihypertensive medication has this side effect, you must not stop taking it. Instead, you must approach your doctor and request for another brand. Sometimes, this effect (sexual problems) is only manifested if the man uses certain drugs, and these will soon cease to happen when the culprit drug is gone.
