It's probably worthwhile just to take a few seconds to understand what causes male yeast infection, so that we can then get a better picture of how and why apple cider vinegar is such a good natural remedy...
Male Yeast Infection Causes
Male yeast infection is caused by the same fungus that causes the infection in women, i.e. Candida Albicans. This occurs naturally in all of us, but the good bacteria in our bodies normally keeps it under control. It's only when the good bacteria fails to do this sufficiently well that the Candida fungus can 'overgrow' into a yeast infection in both males and females.
But the real causes of these infections are the underlying conditions that produce this 'imbalance' between our good bacteria and the Candida fungus. These are issues like; high blood sugar levels, too many antibiotics, hormonal imbalances, compromised immune system, and some drug therapy, etc.
This brings us to how to treat male yeast infection...
Male Yeast Infection Treatment
This is basically no different from female treatment. Mainstream treatment usually consists of drug-based creams, foams, sprays, lotions, oral suspensions, etc., that you get from the doctor or over the counter. But where they seem to fall down is that they tend to attack the localized symptoms, not the underlying issues causing the situation in the first place.
The outcome then is that once your symptoms have gone, and you come off the medications, your infection can return, often much stronger than the time before. Another problem is that, as you use repeat medications, the Candid fungus can become resistant to the drugs.
So this is why more and more males and females are utilizing the benefits of natural remedies to cure their infections...
