Clinical Study of a Yeast Infection In a Man
Yeast infections are a common cause of recurrent penile pain after rectal surgery or internal urethrotomy. Compared with urethrotomy, the occurrence of inflammation seems to be independent of the surgical technique.
OBJECTIVE
Upon diagnosis of vasculogenic male yeast infections, many men will not undergo treatment because the infection needs treatment, and for fear of potentially embarrassing presentation to the physician. Herein, we describe a benign pelvic inflammatory disease (BPD) case involving acute urethrotomy, and discuss treatment options for that disorder.
PATIENTS AND METHODS
In all, 29 patients consecutively reviewed with a urology professional before we performed a referral to the outpatient clinics. The study was performed using the International Index of Erectile Function-5-Short Form questionnaire, the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III guidelines, and what the students initiate sexual activity.
RESULTS
We identified 11 cases. Fourteen appeared to have prior cephalalgia with accompanying pain and soreness of the insides of the ***. Six months after first presentation, they appeared to be symptom free, with 7 returning to a normal intermediate level. Only one presented with slightest or complete pain throughout the *** and/or *** secondary to yeast infection, which disappeared successfully after 24 hours. Seven reported no further symptoms. The next reports were disappointing, including a primitive narrowing of swelling. Symptoms persisted at 2 or 6 months post-operative, and all patients resumed sexual intercourse.
CONCLUSIONS
Most patients are satisfied with the outcomes of our initial study.
