Women self-treat all the time with drugs like Monistat, OTC.
Men CAN self treat, but it's tricky. Here's what I got from one site: "Some men do have success with rubbing Monistat cream on their penis. Some don't. One person said he added a few drops of white vinegar to it to a small blob, and then it worked overnight. The tried-and-true method of treating a penile yeast infection is prescription drugs. Diflucan (fluconazole) which has the advantage of being broad spectrum, so it will kill other species of Candida and some other fungi, but the disadvantage that apparently allergies to it are not uncommon. Nizoral (ketaconazole) is apparently really broad spectrum, powerfully evil stuff, and kills everything. It can also trash your liver, and reduces the adrenals' ability to make steroids, like testosterone." It is common for a man and woman to pass yeast back and forth, so abstinence for quite a while would be a good idea, and cheaper than a lot of drugs. |
