One of the side effects of Doxycycline is that it will possible provoke a yeast infection, rather than cure it. In fact, it's one of the main causes of Male yeast infections. There are other things that can provoke a male yeast infection as well, such as Diabetes, HIV, and Nonoxynol-9 [Found in Trojan Condom Lubricant.] Either way, there are cures to male yeast infections. Before taking any drugs, it's recommended that an individual who thinks they have a yeast infection to see a doctor immediately, especially if they have never had one before. There are two main types of prescription drugs you can use to cure a yeast infection. The first one is fluconazole, which can be used to kill other fungi, as well at the Candida yeast infection. Fluconazole is more commonly known by the brand name Diflucan. Beware though, Allergies to fluconazole are not uncommon. The second prescription drug that can be taken is ketoconazole, which kills every fungus. There is a drawback to using ketoconazole, because it is not good for your liver. There is also a slight chance that it may reduce the amount of testosterone you produce. Ketoconazole is more commonly known as Nizoral, which can be prescribed by any doctor.

While male yeast infections can cause unbearable symptoms [itching of the head, soreness, discharge, smell] it will not do any serious damage. It is a good idea, though, to get it checked out. Sometimes these symptoms are caused by other diseases, such as HIV.
