I did not know that I had a penile yeast infection until it was too late. I don’t mean that it was too late to be cured but if I had realised earlier I could have saved myself the excrutiating pain that I suffered when going to the toilet.
The first symptoms that I had actually started about a month before the one which is normally associated with a normal male yeast infection. I am normally quite fit and active which I have to be with 6 children and a granddaughter to run about after, so I became a bit worried when for no apparent reason I started to feel very tired and lethargic.
My first thought was that it was stress due to my job, but I had been doing the same work for two years so it couldn’t possibly be that. I then started to think about other illnesses that could have possibly caused this sudden change. The last thing that I thought it would be was a yeast infection, but how wrong I was.
About a week after my symptoms started my wife was diagnosed with having a vaginal infection and it was whilst she was at the doctors that it became apparent that I could have an infection as well. Whilst at the surgery my wife mentioned that I was suffering from chronic tiredness and it was then that the doctor mentioned that I could be suffering from a penile yeast infection and that I had probably passed it on to her (well I can tell you that went down like a lead balloon).
So the next thing I knew I was off to the doctors.
