Natural Remedies for Male Yeast Infection?

My b/f and I have been playing this fun game of "pass the yeast infection" I’ve been doing the over the counter treatment and he’s been doing a similar regiem of putting Monistat (which we lovingly call Manistat) on the head of his penis etc. I recently read about a natural remedy for curing a female yeast infection which was inserting Garlic into the Vagina, worked magically as disgusting as it sounds and is cheaper than spending the 17 bucks on Monistat. He is uncircumsized (love it) and the cleanest man I’ve ever met. Soaking his member in vinigar and putting Monistat on it seems to clear up the infection, but after a month we seem to be back at square one with me running to the pharmacy and both of us sitting with an uncomfortable burn! I’ve heard there is an oral medication to cure this issue, but due to some sort of heart condition B/F can’t take it… any natural remedies I haven’t tried yet?? I mean the Garlic works amazing for me, but I can’t imagine where he’d shove it LoL! We try to be as clean as possible as we have sex on average about 4 times EVERY night so pre-bed showers always come into play. We are oober clean, I don’t douch I only use a mild "lady bits" soap on the outer parts of the vagina. I do use birth control which I’ve heard can cause Yeast issues. Any sugestions are welcome!!

I Have A Male Yeast Infection- Need a second Opinion (From a ACTUAL Doctor!)?

Just last month (End of October). I had unprotected sex with my ex girlfriend (which now I totally regret.) Ever since then I have had redness, very itchy, stinging, etc. Just yesterday I was getting really worried, because It STILL had not gone away! I called my family doctor first, talked to the receptionist about it (My doctor was with another patient at the time). When i explained my symptoms she thought it was a STI (Sexually Transmitted Infection). I was first freaking out, because right away stupid me thought it means I had AIDS. I went to the hospital, after waiting for a doctor for 45 minutes closer to an hour, I finally get called in. The doctor seemed he was in a bad mood, didnt care what-so-ever. "So what seems to be going on?" he first asks. I started going on first about my symptoms with him. He quickly says "Drop your pants". So I did. And he maybe looked at it for 3 seconds and said; "You have a Yeast infection"… First i was like (I thought women only had Yeast Infections), but i did read online and Men can get it too. He told me nothing to be too worried about it. He gave me a prescription for Mylan-Fluconazole (150mg) (Anti-Fungal Pill) 2 tablets, take once to see if it gets better in a week, and if it didnt take the second tablet a week later. He was pretty much telling me, you need to remain calm you will be fine soon. So I took his advice and left. I took the pill when i got home. Later that night I decided to get a second opinion from a live doctor online (which costs money; anyone heard of getanswers.com (medical?) Explained the story to him and my symptoms, and he seemed very nice and helpful, and said "Your doctor told you the right information, you will be better within a week" (not in exact words, but pretty much). Today I was reading more information about Yeast infections, and this medication "Mylan-Fluconazole". The Yeast infection pages made it sound WAAY more serious than the doctor(s) explained. However this medication…. I maybe found 4 or 5 pages on it, and all I keep reading is that this medication is for "VAGINAL" Yeast infections!! I was like "HUH??" Isnt there suppose to be one specifically for men?? Please, if there are any doctors out there who can give me a serious, good medical opinion on this. Am I really going to get better soon?? Or am I going to end up dead in a year from a STI??
I apologize i should be a little more specific about the problem. It is on my penis, and i do have a clear fluid (like seamen) that coats the tip. Discharge… maybe a little bit of white puss but theres barely any.

Is it possible for a male to have an anal yeast infection?

I was just wondering if its possible for me to have a anal yeast infection, because I have been experiencing severe chronic itching, burning and irritation. I was already checked for hemorrhoids and they are not the cause. I have been suffering with this problem for several months now and have taken many different antibiotics through out the past year could this be the cause? Also is there any over the counter medication to treat this for males?

Treatment for male yeast infection in the prostate gland — is my boyfriend being ripped off?

I had a yeast infection and have passed it onto my boyfriend (I told him I can’t have sex but he insisted). I had 2 labtests to confirm that it was yeast infection.

My boyfriend, the stupid jerk, went to a private male hospital to get the "good" (expensive) stuff. Yesterday they stuck a tube down his penis and shot medication into his testicles that way. The doctor claimed that he needed to make his sperms stronger after the infection, so the doctor put him on some kind of IV for an hour, and told him to return today for a follow up treatment. My boyfriend paid 0 for that "yeast infection treatment".

Today my boyfriend went back to the hospital and the doctor put him on that IV for another 3 hours, and paid another 0 for that "follow up yeast infection treatment".

The doctor had, Once AGAIN, told my boyfriend to return tomorrow to test his sperm samples and get some oral medication and God knows do another "treatment" for another grand or something I don’t know.

The doctor told my boyfriend, and I quote, "strong and healthy and athletic guys get these infections easier because they exercise and get tired afterwards, and that’s the time when their immune system is the weakest"……………………………. WHAT!!! So ok… unhealthy people don’t get tired after they exercise? Weak people have better immune systems after they don’t get tired from exercising?…. and the doctor said "don’t make your sex sessions last for too long, it makes you tired and when you get tired, you’ll get an infection easier"….

I can understand if he has sex with me for a long session, he might be more susceptible to a yeast infection because he was exposed to my vagina for a longer period of time. But… What is this doctor saying? I don’t get it!…. Is it me? Or is the doctor right? Or he wants more money? Someone please explain this to me.

I told my boyfriend — YOU GOT RIPPED OFF…. My doctor gave me several pills and some vaginal tablets for like not even 0 including the labtest and everything. My boyfriend was like "you’re not the doctor, men and women are different! You’re stupid"….

Is he being ripped off? Is that how they treat yeast infection in the prostate gland for men? I’m just thinking, I do get yeast infections every now and then, and what if it happens to my boyfriend again, would he have to spend a grand on a stupid yeast infection treatment next time??
If he’s lying about what he was being treated for, (in other words he cheated and caught something nasty), based on the treatment, what disease does that sound like he caught?
