How do men get a yeast infection?

Answer 1

Not necessarily... it isn't so common for men, but anybody can get a yeast infection. Babies often get them in their diapers. You both need to be treated, though... men can pass them to their partners more easily than vice versa.

It doesn't mean he cheated on you. Sometimes hormones may play a roll in yeast infections.
------------------
Yeast infections - are you at risk?
Are you at risk of a yeast infection? Since seventy-five percent of women will have at least one yeast infection in their lifetime, the answer is yes. Yeast infections are most common when a woman is in her 20s, 30s, and 40s.

How do you get yeast infections?

Since yeast naturally occurs on your body, you don't "catch" a yeast infection like you would catch a cold. Yeast infections are caused by an inbalance which leads to an upset in the normal functioning of the tissues in the vagina, as follows:

Normally, your vagina has a number of different healthy bacteria living in it, and it may also have yeast.
The yeast is kept under control by the healthy bacteria in your vagina. These bacteria keep your vagina slightly acidic which prevents Candida from growing too much. The yeast doesn't usually cause any problems unless something happens to upset this balance.
If the balance is upset, the yeast can overgrow, causing a yeast infection.
What upsets the balance?

hormonal changes
medications
certain medical conditions
a weakened immune system
Could I be at risk?

Although any woman can get a yeast infection, some women are more at risk, including those who:

have increased estrogen levels (e.g., due to birth control pills or pregnancy)
have diabetes
have poorly functioning immune systems (e.g., because of HIV/AIDS, cancer or cancer medications, or transplant medications)
have poor toilet habits (e.g. wipe back to front)
are taking certain medications (e.g., steroids, certain antibiotics)
wear tight clothing
use contraceptive sponges, diaphragms with spermicide, or IUDs
If you have any of these risk factors, talk to your doctor or pharmacist about how you can reduce your risk of yeast infections. Fill out our "Doctor Discussion Guide" to help you prepare for your doctor visit.
