Candida is usually a result of the use of lots of antibiotics and is usually seen as a yeast infection or "thrush mouth". Candida is also known as a "superinfection." I am not aware of any relation of prostate problems to candida-unless it is related to taking massive doses of antibiotics to get rid of a UTI- and UTIs are common in those indivdiuals that have prostatic hypertrophy.

It is very common it is called honeymoon cystitis.\n\nMaybe you should treat your husband for thrush too.

It’s not unusual for men at his age to start having problems like that.  It could be a serious health problem or just the lack of exercise and eating a proper diet.  I would advise him to see a doctor about the problem just to rule out a heart condition or prostate problem.  Otherwise, the following are things which might help:\n\nBegin some type of aerobic exercise program.\n\nCut out foods which cause inflammation in the arteries and thus the buildup of plaque from cholesterol (e.g. any food with trans fat, foods cooked with partially hydrogenated oils, margarine, fatty foods from fast food restaurants).\n\nEat foods which are healthy like, oatmeal, nuts (almonds and walnuts), eggs, fish, healthy oils (like extra virgin olive oil), beans, greens (like spinach, collard, etc.), flaxseed, chocolate (with 70% cocoa), fresh fruit and vegetables (avocados, blueberries, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, etc.).\n\nBegin taking a good multi-vitamin (concentrate on zinc and B complex).

Talk to your doctor. After all, his buccal bacterial flora is mixing with your normal vaginal flora and may be unbalancing it. It could be Candida (yeast) even if you have no discharge, because of the itching you describe.\nHe could have yeast in his mouth and not notice; if you don't eliminate it you will go on catching it from each other. \nGo to your gynecologist!!!

thrush is a yeast infection and yes men can get them but they are internal usually. if you are having oral sex this could cause it. the test for a man is a long qtip you know where. I'd advise talking with him and  the Dr.  the meds won't hurt him if he doesn't have one but it may help you.

You case is just the opposite when the sperm are diluted by excess seminal fluid. \nFirst know the semen composition:\nsperm \nfructose \nwater \nascorbic acid (Vitamin C) \ncitric acid \nvarious and sundry enzymes \nphosphate \nbicarbonate buffers (to maintain pH) \nzinc \n\nSemen coagulates within seconds after ejaculation and then liquefies or decoagulates about 15-40 minutes later. You can just make this test alone. If your coagulated semen does not liquefy within that time, your sperm may be trapped in the cottage cheese-like jelly. That just is due to the high viscosity (liquid flow) or hyperviscosity that affects the fertility potential.\nSince the prostate gland secretes the chemical required for liquifaction, surely there could be some prostate infection, responded to a simple antibiotic therapy.\nBesides, a microscopic examination will tell urologist if your sperm are clumping together (agglutinating). On such a case a number of sperm orient themselves tail-to-tail or head-to-head instead of swimming in a straight line. This clumping is another problem for fertility. This finding may indicate a problem with sperm antibodies or the presence of a bacterial infection again. \nTherefore, in the doubt, I advice you some clinic exam.

One should consult a urologist who is a specialist surgeon that deals with prostate problems.\n\nMany types of treatments are available to patients with prostate problems, depending on the degree of severity and type of problem.\n\nMen over age 40 with a family history of prostate cancer should obtain annual prostate examinations as well as lab tests, including a PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen).\n\nMen with no family history are recommended to begin receiving such annual exams and tests at age 50.\n\nMost men, if they live long enough, develop prostate problems or prostate cancer.

Check out the yeast link at www.hufa.org.  I don't know if monilia is a yeast related problem but if you have a yeast problem, it makes everything worse.

Make sure that your only problem is prostate enlargement.  Get your PSA blood work done.  Your family doc may prescribe a med that will help shrink the prostate if there are no other problems.  Make sure you check out all possibilities of prostate cancer.  My husband didn't, and he has prostate cancer which has spread to his bones.  \n\nGood luck with all of this.

"Vulvovaginal Candidiasis, caused by the overgrowth of the fungus Candida, affects nearly 75% of all adult women at least once their lives. \n\nCandida is a relatively harmless yeast, normally found in the mouth, throat, intestines and genitourinary tract of most humans. In the yeast state, Candida is simply a non-invasive, sugar-fermenting organism, whose purpose is to destroy harmful gut flora (bacteria). In a normal environment, Candida is controlled by a properly functioning immune system and helpful "friendly" gut flora like Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium bifidum and Bacillus laterosporus, all of which suppress undesirable bacteria and yeasts and help maintain a balanced, healthy immune system. \n\nWhen the balance between the normal microorganisms of the vagina are disrupted, however, Vulvovaginal Candidiasis can result.\n\nCommonly referred to simply as a vaginal yeast infection, vulvovaginal Candidiasis disorder occurs when the acidity of the vagina changes. This may be due to hormone imbalance, in conjunction with other illnesses (such as Diabetes), in those who are immunosuppressed (such with AIDS or HIV), in those who use oral contraceptives, and commonly, with antibiotic use (particularly tetracycline)[.1, 2] Pregnancy, prolonged use of steroid hormones, acid blockers and ulcer medications, immunosuppressants or anti-inflammatory drugs, excessive stress, and improper diet can also contribute to Vulvovaginal Candidiasis.[3] \n\nVulvovaginal Candidiasis is not a sexually transmitted disease, nor is it an airborne infection. It can, however, be transmitted from one partner to another through intercourse, deep kissing or oral sex.[4] Fortunately, if the other person is healthy, his or her immune system will destroy the cells and prevent infection. Still, an estimated 12%-15% of men develop symptoms such as itching and rash following sexual contact with an infected partner.[5] It is also possible for breastfeeding mothers to transmit the infection to their infants. \n\nThe National Institutes of Health[6] lists the following as the most common symptoms of Vulvovaginal Candidiasis: \n\nAbnormal vaginal discharge (ranging from a slightly watery, white discharge to a thick, white, chunky discharge) \nVaginal and labial itching or burning \nRedness and/or inflammation of the vulva \nPain with intercourse \nPainful urination \n\nDiagnosis is made through visual examination, symptom review and in some cases, laboratory tests. Once identified, Candida can be successfully treated through several measures. Remedies include the determination and elimination of any causative factors, application of antifungal medications, lifestyle changes (such as quitting smoking and reducing or avoiding alcohol consumption), removing (or reducing) pollution and toxins in your environment, and strengthening your immune system through the combined application of a healthy lifestyle plus proper nutrition and probiotic supplements. \n\nBefore undergoing any treatment – conventional or otherwise – be sure you are dealing with a true vaginal yeast infection. Self-treating a suspected vaginal yeast condition may delay diagnosis and effective treatment of a similar vaginal infection that will not respond to yeast treatments. In fact, one study by the American Social Health Association found that 70% of women self-treated vaginal infections before calling a health care provider. Most often, they incorrectly thought they had a yeast infection when, in fact, it was bacterial vaginosis.[7] \nCommon treatments include antifungal medicines in the form of tablets, creams, ointments or suppositories, including [8]: \n\nFemstat: an antifungal type of antibiotic applied as a vaginal cream. Femstat is available as a 1-day or 3-day treatment. See http://www.drugdigest.org/dd/dvh/uses/0,... for details. \n\nClotrimazole: Clotrimazole comes as a lozenge, topical cream or solution formula, as well as in over-the-counter vaginal creams a

I had this problem also.  I ended up going to an endocrinologist for an unrelated problem.  I mentioned it when he said, "Do you have any other questions?"  He determined that I had vaginal and gastro-intestinal yeast.  He prescribed a drug called Diflucan that you normally take for a vaginal yeast infection.   His reasoning was that if you get rid of the yeast in that entire area, it is more effecacious.  I took one pill a day for an entire year, getting  blood testing every three months to make sure it wasn't damaging my liver.  I haven't had the problem since I stopped the medication in 1990, and my liver is fine.  If you don't want to seek the services of a physician, the advice given above about limiting your sugar, and intake of fermented foods is also a good way to control it, but doesn't completely stop the overgrowth of yeast in the body.

Hi there. Try this.\n\nThe naturopathic approach to Candida infection is to improve resistance to infection, whilst at the same time addressing the overgrowth of the Candida organism.\n\n\nProbiotics such as acidophilus and bifidus bacteria are "good" bacteria that normally inhabit the digestive tract and the vagina. Probiotic supplementation may help to address the imbalance caused by an overgrowth of Candida, and may help relieve digestive symptoms such as flatulence and diarrhoea.\n\nThe mineral chromium assists the body with sugar utilisation and may help to reduce sugar craving symptoms; (if you are diabetic, discuss this with your healthcare professional before using it)\n\nThe herb garlic has anti-fungal properties and is prescribed to assist with fungal infections such as Candida\n\nEchinacea stimulates the body's resistance and may help to reduce susceptibility to infection\n\nImportant Notes\nMany antibacterial, corticosteroid and immuno-suppressive therapies increase susceptibility to Candida, as do pregnancy, diabetes and some other diseases. Consult with your healthcare professional if you have concerns in this regard.\n\n\nIn certain individuals, such as those with depleted immunity, Candida infection may require immediate medical attention.\n\n\n\nRecurrent thrush is sometimes due to an infected sexual partner - both people may need to be treated before the situation is resolved. \n\n\n\nRecurrent thrush in babies may indicate that the mother's nipples are infected. Your healthcare professional will prescribe a suitable topical preparation.\n\nPrevention\nCandida is more likely to develop in warm, moist environments. Try to wear cotton rather than nylon underwear, and always ensure a baby's nappy is changed as quickly as possible.\n\n\n\nA healthy diet and lifestyle combined with good hygiene will reduce the likelihood of developing Candida. Avoid excessive amounts of yeast-based foods such as bread and try not to eat too many sugary foods.\n Hope this helps.\n\nCraig - Naturopath

When this happened to me, the docs diagnosed it as prostatitus. They treated me with bactrim and it cleared up.

I don't think it is because of  HIV , but better see doctor...it is maybe the prostate or the bladder.

It's entirely possible that she has a yeast infection... \n\nMany things can cause it, and you can catch it from her, though it's not as likely as her catching it from you (just plain plumbing issues)\n\nYeast infections are very uncomfortable, expecially when extra fluids are being secreted as in sexual contact.  It causes itching and burning sensations.\n\nAs to whether she is telling the truth or not, I cannot say.  But if it's true, then it's a darn good excuse...  look around the bathroom for something called Canesten or any other antifungal creams or suppositories.  (yes I said FUNGAL - sounds nice doesn't it... believe me, if she has it you do not want to go there... be patient with her.. .it'll be gone in a week or so)

Known causes include: \n\ninfections of the prostate gland, called prostatitis. Prostatitis may be acute, chronic, or nonbacterial. \ninfections of the seminal vesicles, which are two structures that secrete some of the fluid found in semen \ninfections of the urethra, known as urethritis. The urethra is the tube that carries urine and semen to the outside of the body. \nurethral strictures, or narrowing in an area of the urethra. This may be caused by trauma or a previous infection. \ncertain sexual habits, such as prolonged abstinence from or lack of sex or unusually frequent sex bleeding or blood clotting problems, such as hemophilia A or hemophilia B. Clotting problems can also occur in men who are taking too much of the blood-thinning drug warfarin. \ntumors or cancer, a rare cause. The cancer may be in the prostate, seminal vesicles, or urethra.\nTherefore, the treatment depends by the specific cause!!
