Yeast Infection On The Asshole

An yeast infection on the asshole or anal yeast infection is, unfortunately, something you can contract. It's not as common as a vaginal yeast infection, but it does happen. One of the most common methods is as the result of anal sex activity with a partner who is already infected with a yeast infection or the use of unsanitary sexual devices that are inserted into the rectum. It can also develop as a result of poor physical hygiene or conditions that create an atmosphere of moisture around the anus.

All this sounds pretty disgusting but the reality can be even worse. An yeast infection on the asshole or anal yeast infection has all of the symptoms and discomforts of the vaginal yeast infection with the added healing impediment of fecal matter in the area infected. Treatment can be long and tedious and require the use of more than just your standard medications to eliminate completely. Probiotics, which help your body produce the good bacteria needed to eliminate yeast, will most likely be necessary along with regular application of Monostat or some other medication to the area.

An yeast infection on the asshole or anal yeast infection normally develops from the spreading of an existing vaginal yeast infection or oral yeast infection. It is also possible for a man to carry a yeast infection on his tongue or penis so heterosexual sex does not make you immune to it. Yeast infections are not really sexually transmitted diseases but they can be transferred that way if you are not careful. If you have any of the symptoms of a yeast infection, see your doctor and inform your partner of the potential risks involved.
