This male yeast infection treatment straight from the micro brew

Go with natural male yeast infection treatment instead of OTCs

Make these natural male yeast infection treatment in your own home. Again, see the complete list of man yeast infection symptoms if you are not sure you have a male yeast infection (balanitis).

Here's my standard advice again -- 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 --

Potassium sorbate soak
Potassium sorbate is a potassium salt version of sorbic acid. Sorbic acid is a polyunsaturated fat used to inhibit mold growth. Sorbic acid and its salts are commonly used to inhibit the growth of microbes -- i.e. help preserve the foods we buy in stores, and for you guys -- assist in the beer making process. Potassium sorbate sometimes can be purchased from local microbrew supply stores or some natural foods stores also carry them. Here's a reputable site that for potassium sorbate that has good service and a decent price.

To use potassium sorbate as a yeast infection home remedy, here's what you'll need --

Potassium sorbate

Warm water

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.

Calendula cream (optional)

Here's what you do --

Mix approximately 2 tablespoons (16 gm) of potassium sorbate into 2 cups of warm water. This will make a 3% solution.

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

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

Optional - sparingly apply the calendula cream to the penis and affected areas.

Repeat this male yeast infection treatment until all the symptoms are gone. For more intense penile yeast infections, use this male yeast infection treatment twice a day.

Hydrogen peroxide soak
The "good" bacteria in the body keeps candida in check by producing hydrogen peroxide. How does hydrogen peroxide kill the yeast? When it comes in contact with candida, the candida decomposes the hydrogen peroxide and it turns into oxygen molecules. It's this oxygen which turns around and makes the environment inhospitable to yeast. See, candida / yeast grows in a low or now oxygen environment. When exposed to too much oxygen at the cellular level, the candida fungi cannot grow and live. When you get a penis yeast infection, naturally the flora in the genital region is off-balance with the yeast overgrowing everywhere. This leaves the "good" bacteria greatly outnumbered and unable to produce enough hydrogen peroxide to fight off the extra candida.

So how do you use hydrogen peroxide as a male yeast infection treatment? You can purchase hydrogen peroxide (3% concentration) from your local pharmacy. Or you can check out this site for more information on this male yeast infection treatment.

Here's what you need --

Hydrogen peroxide (3%)

Warm water

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.

Calendula cream (optional)

To make this hydrogen peroxide male yeast infection treatment soak, mix 2 teaspoons of hydrogen peroxide with 2 cups of warm water. Soak for 15 - 30 minutes in this solution daily until one day after the penis yeast infection symptoms are gone. For more intense penile yeast infections, use this male yeast infection treatment twice a day. Optionally, you can apply the calendula cream to the penis after the soak.
