Thanks for checking out my video. This is an interesting video today on male yeast infection. Can a male yeast infection cause white discharge?

Yes, it can. It’s not dissimilar to a female yeast infection. It can occur in circumcised males or uncircumcised males for sure. Discharge can also occur if the infection is just not locally around the penis. It can also occur if the yeast infection is deeper inside, even in the prostate region. I’ve seen guys with significant white discharge with major prostatitis, so it can occur. Pain can be felt going up into the groin region. It can be like pain here, low down in the tummy region. You can even feel like you’ve been punched or kicked in that area if you’ve got prostatitis. It can be a severe pain. But the infection can also be local causing the white discharge.

Some of the typical causes of this can be sexual transmission. Whether you’re straight or gay, this can be transmitted. Antibiotics is one of the causes. Being a diabetic, generally you’re going to urinate out potentially urine with a high glucose load and, of course, that’s a yummy food for yeast. There’s also some talk that some of the spermicidal lubricants and even condom lubricants can create these sorts of problems there as well. Just be careful, particularly the sexual transmission.

Guys are often recommended to use Monistat cream, which I think is quite ridiculous, a female cream. Some say it works really well, others say they have no effect with it. Generally, tea tree oil products, tea tree oil soap or the water-soluble oil mixed with a bit of water is going to work quite well for a wash. Hygiene and washing and regular underclothing changes are key things to do to prevent this from spreading and also to shut it right down. You also need to look at your diet, of course, to shut this down. But yes, white discharge is common and I’ve certainly heard of this from a male yeast infection.

I hope that answers the question. Thanks for tuning in.

Thank you for checking out my video today. The question today is, is ringworm Candida? Ringworm isn’t Candida.

Ringworm is a fungal infection of the skin we call Dermatophytosis. Dermatophytes are fungi that live in different parts of the body, but generally on the body. Animals can get ringworm, too. Cats and dogs and domestic animals can get it as well. The circular patches on the skin are not generally caused by worms. They’re caused by fungi.

Dermatophytes, the two particular types you’re looking at here are called microsporum and trichophyton. These are the two particular types of yeast that we’re going to find that are affecting the skin. They feed on the keratin or like the outer layer of shed skin. They like to feed on that, particularly in the warm moist areas of the body. But they can also be found in patches on the chest or even exposed areas like the arm.

Treatments are quite similar. I recommend using pure Australian tea tree oil on the ringworm and making sure that the diet changes are in place to take the sugar out of the diet. And a similar kind of diet that I recommend for intestinal or vaginal, jock itch, these kinds of yeast problems. This condition is not caused by a worm. It’s caused by yeast that are different from Candida.

Don’t forget there are many different types of yeast that live on the body and in the body, many different species. Many different types, so it’s easy to get confused. Treatment in the old days for ringworm was quite severe. If you had really bad ringworm of the scalp, they’d even x-ray it to try and get rid of it.

And prior to the 1900s with these circular patches on the skin, they’d actually pour mercury on there to try to cure it, which is ridiculous. Just remember tea tree oil is a fantastic treatment to apply externally to the skin for ringworm. If you do it twice per day, it’s going to really help significantly.

I hope that answers your question about ringworm and Candida. Thanks for tuning in.

Thanks for checking out my YouTube video today. I have a question here from a lady in Little Rock, Arkansas. This is Jillian from Little Rock. Jillian asks, is ringworm thrush? That’s a good question, Jillian. Let me answer that question for you today.

Both of them are yeast, but there are quite a lot of differences between them both. Ringworm is a yeast problem we call a dermatophyte, which really lives generally on the skin surface. There are different types of dermatophytes, different species affecting different parts of the body. Common presentations of ringworm are areas affecting the feet or the scalp or the back, around the nail beds. You can have different areas of the body being affected.

People sometimes think ringworm involves worms or parasites, but it doesn’t. It gets its name from a round appearance that it has, sometimes with a red margin or a red center and there can be satellite lesions, small lesions around it as well. It can burn, be intensely itchy, and a lot of people think they’ve got a really bad problem there. Generally, these things are cleared up quite quickly. Let’s look at some different types of presentations of things that are similar to ringworm.

On the scalp, it’s tinea capitis we call it. Ringworm can occur on the scalp. Even on the feet, tinea pedis. Jock itch, tinea cruris. But thrush, however, is Candida albicans. It’s a different type of a yeast which prefers to really colonize moist warm dark areas, generally under things like the breast area, around the penis, the head of the penis, under the foreskin, in the vaginal area, in the mouth, in the intestinal tract. Whereas, the ringworm will prefer the surface of the body.

Treatment for these types of conditions is quite similar. I tend to be a bit more aggressive with the ringworm with topical treatment. There are various kinds of essential oils I recommend that you use. You can read more about ringworm on yeastinfection.org. I think I put a good post about ringworm on that website.

Thrush needs internal treatment, of course, and external treatment. Chapter 5 of Candida Crusher explains in detail how to eradicate thrush. And in my book, Candida Crusher as well, you can find the correct treatment of ringworm. It’s not difficult to eradicate.

Incidentally, I prefer that people don’t use antifungal drugs for ringworm, but tend to use more natural methods. These natural methods don’t destroy the environment of the body allowing other pathogens to grow. When you start taking in drugs like Itraconazole or Terbinafine like Lamisil, you’re going to create a big imbalance in the body. You’re going to get drug side effects. You’re going to get resistance to these drugs and you’re not going to get a successful cure as you would and if you used a natural treatment, which usually means diet and lifestyle and antifungal kinds of products to take in.

I hope that answers your question, Jillian, about is ringworm thrush? It’s not really thrush. It’s a different kind of an organism. Thanks for tuning in.
