It is incorrect to assume that only women can suffer from yeast infection. Even men are as susceptible as women to infections caused by yeast. Studies have shown that men with penis yeast infection (or penile yeast infection) often get it from their female sexual partners who have vaginal yeast infection.

Symptoms associated with penis yeast infection are swelling and redness of the penis. The penis is painful to touch and the tip of the penis may develop pus-filled small blisters. A white cottage cheese-like discharge is seen from the penis. This discharge has a foul smell and is the result of the infection.

Herbal Remedies For Penis Yeast Infection
Fill a tub with warm water and add three cups of pure apple cider vinegar to the water. Soak yourself in this apple cider vinegar bath for about 10-15 minutes. Open your legs and place your feet over the tub. This is the best position for soaking in the soothing effects of apple cider bath.

The herbal properties of apple cider vinegar will bring immediate relief from itching and swelling. The redness caused due to infection will also disappear. Do this treatment twice a day, once in the morning and once at night before going to sleep.

Take four to five pods of garlic and peel them. Crush the pods with your hands and apply crushed garlic directly on the penis. If you are going out, wrap the applied crushed garlic with medicated gauze so that it does not stick to the clothes or fall off. Re-apply crushed garlic every four hours to fasten the process of healing.

The infection will take about two or three days to get cured. However, it is recommended that the application of garlic be continued for the next four days as well so that the infection goes away completely and doesn’t recur.

Wash the penis regularly with infusion of witch hazel herb. Boil half a liter of water and remove it from flame. Add a handful of witch hazel leaves in the hot water and cover with a lid. Let fusion stand for at least a couple of hours.

Drain the mixture and use the resulting witch hazel water for washing and cleaning the penis. Use the witch hazel water at least 5-6 times in a day to bring down inflammation and redness caused due to infection. You can even refrigerate the water. Cool witch hazel water will provide relief from itching as well.
