Oral yeast infection which is also called the 'oral thrush' is same in men as it is in women. Any kind of yeast infection is an overgrowth of the fungus Candida Albicans, so is the oral thrush.
This fungus does no harm to the body when at normal levels. At that time it is known as the 'good bacteria'. It is the overgrowth that causes problem. Yeast infection can occur in the mouth, skin and the genitals. And, this infection can attack all age groups. Thrush is a yeast infection of the mouth but sometimes includes other parts of the body as well.
The oral yeast infection in men is also called the infection of the mucous membrane of the throat and the mouth. The overgrowth of Candida Albicans happens when the immune system gets weakened due to illness, diabetes, drugs or disease. It is the prolonged use of the antibiotics that kills the good bacteria. Using too much of anti bacterial mouthwash is also harmful for good bacteria. Others things that kill the good bacteria are steroids and stress. Even being malnourished paves way for the over production of yeast causing bacteria. Other than these, artificial dentures also cause yeast infection. This denture damages the mucous membrane which results in the infection.
Moving on to the symptoms, both men and women experience similar symptoms. It is the tongue which bears the symptoms of the infection. It may have yellow, white or cream color raised spots along with a distinct pink mucous membrane. The men who wear artificial dentures would experience yellow spots on the lips. Incase of infection in the throat, the person might feel pain and discomfort while swallowing with a burning sensation in the mouth. That's not all; persons suffering from this infection have a bad breath. These symptoms are similar to other problems as well so, it is always best to take a professional advice.
