GET IT CHECKED: Yeast infections usually do not cause swollen glands in groin.You should get it checked as there may be a different cause of the swollen glands.

Question 3

as a male, will keeping my groin area shaved, assist in not breaking out with a yeast infection?

Accepted Answer

Unusual for males : A yeast infection is a bit unusual for males regardless if you shave or not. The yeast are always present in poo & with normal hygiene practices, the male genitals & surrounding skin are too dry to promote their growth.

Question 4

i went to the doctor and have a yeast infection in my groin and my testicals hurt  is that normal ?

Accepted Answer

Testicular pain: Is probably not related to your yeast infection.  It might be another infection in the testicle or even a torsion, which is an emergency because you can lose your testicle.  Consult with your doctor again.

Question 5

when you have a yeast infection does the lymph nodes in your groin swell?

Accepted Answer

Could be: Lymphatic system absorbs/carries things too big to go into the arteries/veins like bacteria eaten by white cells and digested food. Lymph nodes "taste" the lymph for anything bad  like bacteria/viruses/cancers, etc. When it detects a problem, it alerts the immune system and your body reacts.  They enlarge in response to the inflammation they create when they react.  They shrink when all is well.

Question 6

i think i have a yeast infection but im not sure and my glands (in my groin) are slightly swollen and tender. is this a sign of something more serious?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Yeast is usually on the surface. If the glands in your groin are swollen, it could men a more serious infection. You need to see a doctor or nurse practitioner.

i went  to the doctor  and he said i have a yeast infection in my groin area and my balls hurt is that normal?

Pain not normal: It's common to get itchy fungal rashes in your groin (tinea cruris or "jock itch"), but they shouldn't make your testicles hurt. Testicular pain in young men can be due to infection (usually gonorrhea  or chlamydia) or to torsion (twisting). If you continue to have pain, you should see a doctor again.
