can you get a yeast infection from a male if you have sex with him?

Answer 1

yes

Answer 2

Yes you'll definitely get infected. It's contagious.
Practice safe sex.
Candidiasis, commonly called yeast infection or thrush, is a fungal infection of any of the Candida species, of which Candida albicans is the most common.[5
In immunocompetent people, candidiasis can usually only be found in exposed and moist parts of the body such as:
the oral cavity (oral thrush)
the vagina and/or vulva (vaginal candidiasis or thrush)
folds of skin in the diaper area (diaper rash)
the nipples while breastfeeding
Candidiasis is the second most common cause of vaginal irritation or vaginitis, and can also occur on the male genitals, particularly in uncircumcised men.
In immunocompromised patients, the Candida infection can involve the esophagus and can become systemic, causing a much more serious condition, fungemia.

Children, mostly between 3 and 9 years old, can be affected by chronic mouth yeast infections. It is normally seen around the mouth as white patches. However, this is not a very common condition.



Yeast organisms are always present in all people, but are usually prevented from "overgrowth" (uncontrolled multiplication resulting in symptoms) by naturally occurring microorganisms.

At least three quarters of all women will experience candidiasis at some point in their lives. The Candida albicans organism is found in the vaginas of almost all women and normally causes no problems. However, when it gets out of balance with the other "normal flora," such as lactobacilli (which can also be harmed by using douches), an overgrowth and symptoms can result. Pregnancy, the use of oral contraceptives, engaging in vaginal sex after anal sex in an unhygenic manner and using lubricants with glycerine have been known to be causally related to yeast infections. Antibiotics and diabetes melitus can also lead to an increased incidence in yeast infections. Candidiasis can also be sexually transmitted between partners.
Symptoms include severe itching, burning, and soreness, irritation of the vagina and/or vulva, and a whitish or whitish-gray discharge.
Many women mistake the symptoms of the more common bacterial vaginosis for a yeast infection. In a 2002 study published in the Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, only 33 percent of women who were self treating for a yeast infection actually had a yeast infection. Instead they had either bacterial vaginosis or a mixed-type infection. Currently, bacterial vaginosis can only be diagnosed by a doctor.
In men it can result in red patchy sores near the head of the penis, or on the foreskin. The sores will feel irritated and itchy, sometimes they will burn as well.
KOH (potassium hydroxide) preparation can be diagnostic. A scraping or swab of the affected area is placed on a microscope slide. A single drop of 10% solution of KOH is then placed on the slide. The KOH dissolves the skin cells but leaves the Candida untouched. When viewed under a microscope the hyphae and pseudo spores of Candida are visible. Their presence in large numbers strongly suggests a yeast infection. Swab and culture is performed by rubbing a sterile swab on the infected skin surface. The swab is then rubbed across a culture medium. The medium is incubated for several days, during which time colonies of yeast and/or bacteria develop. The characteristics of the colonies provide a presumptive diagnosis of the organism.

Answer 3

Yes, but it's not considered an STD. The vast majority o yeast infections have causes other than exposure to someone else who has one. Everyone has yeast in their body right now. It's just that it doesn't normally grow enough to cause an infection.

Anti-biotics can throw off the normal environment allowing yeast to grow uncontrolled.

Diarrhea or constipation can allow the spread of yeast from the gut to other areas.

A bad cold or the flu can lower your immune system enough to allow yeast to result in infection.

Babies can get bad diaper rashes which escalate into a yeast infection.

There's lots of ways for the normally occurring yeasts to grow out of control.

Answer 4

No, guys get jock itch, and that is a yeast infection, it's just called different cause it's so comparatively minor on a guy, but they are both Candida albicans. Your friend is just a drama queen trying to stir up ish a guy with jock itch can give you a yeast infection, but also just having sex with a clean guy can upset the pH balance in your vagina, and lead to a yeast infection, although the former is much more likely

Answer 7

YES!
Especiall if the man is not circumsised. He can carry th eyeast infectoin in his foreskin. Also, just having sex makes you more prone to getiing one because you will be "wet" and also because semen has high sugar content. Yeast's two favorite thing. If you dont wash afterwards, you are a lot more likely to get a yeast infection than you otherwise would be.

Answer 8

If he has a yeast infection, then you can get it from him whether you have oral sex or regular intercourse. Naturally if you have a oral sex with a guy who has a yeast infection that you can bet you will most likely get a yeast infection in your mouth and that does not sound fun. Yuck!

Answer 9

It is not man who carry yeast infections it is women. I once had a yeast & bladder infection. It's some kind of virous we tend to get. With all the technology today the Dr. gave me just 1 pill to illiminate all. Yeast is not considered a STD
because women clean or no are bound to have it at least once in
thier life. I hope I answered r question.
