Male Yeast Infection
Fungi of the Candida species, usually Candida albicans, mainly cause yeast infections. Fungi are present in the human body anyway, but they are kept under control by good bacteria in the gut. When this does not happen, a yeast infection might occur. Some yeast infections can be superficial but can also worsen to life threatening degrees.

Antibiotics that are prescribed for the flu, or something similar, work by killing off pathogens, but they may also kill of several of the good bacteria that your body needs. This can result in the ratio between good bacteria and yeast in the small intestine is imbalanced, so that fungi thrives, and then spread to other parts of the body. A weak immune system can cause yeast infections, as can sex with a female who has a yeast infection.

Tinnitus Symptoms
Tinnitus is a condition where a person experiences the sensation of hearing sound within their ears when external sound is absent. Tinnitus is not a disease. It is a symptom that results from various causes such as foreign objects and wax in the ear or ear infections.
Tinnitus symptoms can consist of different types of noises such as whistling, hissing, ringing and clicking. The noises can also sound like whooshing or rushing. These phantom noises can be heard in either one ear or both ears. They can also differ in pitch from a high-pitched squeal to a very low roar. In certain individuals the sound is loud enough to affect hearing and concentration, usually causing dizziness, in a syndrome called Meniere’s disease. Continuous Tinnitus is likely to cause fatigue, irritability, and, on rare occasions, musical hallucinations clinical depression.
Tinnitus can be pulsing and constant. However, it can also be intermittent, worsen gradually or begin abruptly. Individuals experiencing tinnitus symptoms should be examined by a doctor, especially if it has begun suddenly and if the sounds are only heard by one ear or if one ear experienced hearing loss. Many individuals suffering from tinnitus experience a loss of hearing and cannot hear the external sounds that are in the same frequency as that of the “phantom sounds” they hear.

What is a yeast infection?
A yeast infection is the common name given to a condition called candidiasis or thrush. It is a fungal infection caused by any of the Candida species of fungi. Candida albicans is the most common of these fungi.
Candida yeasts are normally found in the human body anyway, but their growth is limited by our immune system. Certain things can cause candida cells to overgrow. Pregnancy and the use of oral contraceptives can be risk factors. Thos suffering from diabetes or using antibiotics are also at risk.
Yeast infections can be superficial ones such as oral thrush and vaginitis but can also be systemic infections which are more problematic because they are not just on the outside of the body, and affect other important organs, which can be life threatening. Those who suffer from systemic infections are usually those who have a weakened immune system, such as cancer, HIV/AIDS or transplant patients. Most infections cause some discomfort such as itchiness and swelling, but can get worse if left untreated.
