How To Treat Penile Yeast Infection?
I am a 57 yr old male and I strongly suspect that I have a penile yeast infection (symptoms match pretty closely). My wife is past menapause and we no longer use the sheath as my erection is often dodgy and a condom unfailingly kills it stone dead. I've thoroughly cleaned myself but there is skin discolouration on part of the head of the penis under the foreskin. We have not enjoyed intercourse for some time and tonight I feel able but I do not want to cause my wife a problem. Should I avoid intercourse?

In short: Its good that you have concern for your wife regarding this.
Explanation: Apply oint clotrimazole locally for relief. Then after relief you may go for intercourse. If it does not subside by 3-5 days then visit a doctor for examination. All the best. Be patient for some time.
