All natural home male yeast infection treatment for lasting cure

male yeast infection treatment male yeast infection treatment *

Try the natural types of male yeast infection treatment and by pass the OTC products. Again, see the complete list of man yeast infection symptoms if you are not sure you have a male yeast infection (balanitis).

Again, my standard advice -- if this is the first time you're experiencing a penile yeast infection, keep reading for a natural male yeast infection treatment you can use. A penis yeast infection is not life threatening, but I strongly urge you to see your doctor to get a proper diagnosis for a few reasons -- 1) you don't want to just assume that you have a penile yeast infection (balanitis), 2) you could have something more serious than a man yeast infection such as another STD (sexually transmitted disease), and 3) self treatment with an over-the-counter yeast infection medication when in fact you do not have a man yeast infection is not a good thing. Why? If you in fact do not have a man yeast infection but still treating your infection symptoms with an OTC antifungal cream, you could end up creating a more resistant strain of candida albicans with repeated use.

Here's the continuation of my list of natural male yeast infection treatment --


Cranberry juice
Doctors typically tell their patients to drink plenty of cranberry juice when they're suffering from a UTI (urinary tract infection). Cranberry juice contains a compound that prevents the bacteria from adhering to the urinary tract walls. So you're thinking ... "what does that have to do with my yeast infection?" Well, the theory is that as the acidic urine (cranberry juice also lowers the pH of urine) is being excreted, it passes through/over the yeast infected parts of your body, therefore helping fight the penile yeast infection. The thing is, using cranberry juice as a male yeast infection treatment is effective only for very mild infections.

If you're going to give this male yeast infection treatment a shot, I suggest getting the unsweetened kind if you can handle the tartness of cranberry juice in its natural state. Your body doesn't need the extra sugar as candida feeds on glucose. Trader Joe's carries a good unsweetened cranberry juice. If you prefer some sweetness to your cranberry herbal remedy yeast infection juice, you can add a packet or two of Splenda (artificial sweetner) to it. Another good alternative for this herbal remedy yeast infection cure is this naturally sweetened is this Cranberry-Apple juice concentrate.

Some have suggested taking cranberry extract pills alone or as part of other yeast infection home remedy. These are available in most health food stores. Or click here to check this male yeast infection treatment on the web.


Vinegar or vitamin C or lemon soak
The key to this male yeast infection treatment is pH. When the pH in/around the genital region is off (i.e. more alkaline than acidic), the yeast really likes it! So to help restore the pH in this case, what you'll need to to is to increase the acidity level.

To make this male yeast infection treatment, here's what you'll need --

  1. Something acidic like vinegar (white or apple cider), vitamin C, or lemon

  2. Warm water

  3. A small bowl. You need something large enough to hold about 3 or 4 cups of water, but shallow enough so you can comfortably put your penis into.

Here's what you do --

  1. Mix 2 tablespoon of vinegar, OR 1 teaspoon vitamin C (be sure to crush if in tablet form or get the powdered form), OR juice from 1/2 lemon with 1 quart of warm water in the small bowl.

  2. Lift the bowl up to your penis and let your it soak in the solution for 15 to 30 minutes.

  3. After you're done, be sure to pat dry the penis and foreskin.

For mild man yeast infections, use this male yeast infection treatment daily. For more intense penile yeast infections, you may want to use this male yeast infection cure in conjunction with other yeast infection remedies. NOTE - DO NOT apply undiluted vinegar, vitamin C, or lemon juice directly to your infected penis thinking this will kill the yeast faster! It'll probably kill you faster out of the sheer pain from the acid. DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS!
