A common medical health problem, a yeast infection in the genitals, is caused by Candida (mainly Candida albicans). It is the most common fungus (yeast) that often causes fungal infections in the genitals. The infection is known as candidiasis or thrush or fungal infection. Candida infection is more common in women than in men. In women, this infection is known as vaginal candidiasis or vaginal yeast infection. Various bacteria and yeasts live in our body without causing any problems. When an imbalance occurs between the growth of bacteria and yeast in the body, the yeast overgrows, which can cause candidiasis. A weak immune system, uncontrolled diabetes, a recent course of antibiotics, hormonal changes, use of oral contraceptives by women, stress and irritation from using certain soaps tend to predispose a person to a yeast infection. The symptoms of this infection in women include itching in the vagina and vulva; pain, redness, swelling, burning sensation in the vulva and vagina; vaginal discharge (thick white); cracks in the vaginal wall; painful intercourse and pain or burning when urinating.
In men, a fungal infection can affect the glans and foreskin and is called penile candidiasis or penile thrush. The signs and symptoms in men include itching, burning, pain, redness, rash, swelling on the glans, small bumps on the glans, thick white discharge under the foreskin, cracked foreskin and pain/burning sensation when urinating or during sexual intercourse. . If a yeast infection in men is not treated in time, it can lead to inflammation of the glans penis, medically known as balanitis.
