&lt;h1&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What&amp;rsquo;s a Penile Yeast Infection? (Yep, It&amp;rsquo;s a Thing!)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Okay, fellas&amp;mdash;let&amp;rsquo;s talk about something that doesn&amp;rsquo;t get brought up at parties but probably should: &lt;strong&gt;penile yeast infections&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While it might sound like something only women deal with, guys can absolutely get them too. In fact, it&#39;s more common than you think. A penile yeast infection happens when a fungus called &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline; color: #000080;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com.hk/candida-in-men&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Candida&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; (which normally hangs out on your skin, doing no harm) decides to throw a wild party in your pants. And trust us&amp;mdash;it&amp;rsquo;s not the kind of party you want.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What Causes It?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline; color: #000080;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://pulse-clinic.com/penile-rashes&quot;&gt;Candida&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; loves &lt;strong&gt;warm, moist places&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;mdash;kind of like your groin, especially if you&amp;rsquo;re not circumcised.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h5&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Here&amp;rsquo;s what can crank up the risk:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Poor hygiene&lt;/strong&gt; (yep, clean under that foreskin!)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Antibiotics&lt;/strong&gt;, which mess with your body&amp;rsquo;s natural balance&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline; color: #000080;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com.hk/10-diabetes-related-mens-health-urological-conditions&quot;&gt;Diabetes&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; or high blood sugar&lt;/strong&gt;, which yeast feeds on&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Weakened immune system&lt;/strong&gt; from illness or medications&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Unprotected sex&lt;/strong&gt; with a partner who has a yeast infection&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Obesity&lt;/strong&gt;, which creates more warm, fold-y spaces&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What Does It Feel Like?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;h5&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Here are the classic signs your junk might be under fungal attack:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;White patches or clumpy stuff&lt;/strong&gt; under the foreskin&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Redness or rash&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Itching, burning, or irritation&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Discomfort during sex or peeing&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Heads-up:&lt;/strong&gt; These symptoms can look like &lt;strong&gt;other STDs&lt;/strong&gt;, so don&amp;rsquo;t try to play doctor with Google. Go get checked out. A quick &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline; color: #000080;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com.hk/std-testing&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;STD screening&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; can clear things up&amp;mdash;literally and figuratively.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What Can Happen If You Ignore It?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you let it fester, you could end up with &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline; color: #000080;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com.hk/balanitis&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;balanitis&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;mdash;a fancy word for inflammation of the head of the penis and foreskin.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h5&gt;&lt;strong&gt;That can lead to:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Tight foreskin that won&amp;rsquo;t retract (called &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline; color: #000080;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com.hk/phimosis&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;phimosis&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Pain and swelling&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Higher risk of other infections&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Definitely not the kind of surprise you want in your boxers.&lt;/p&gt;
