Thad Tacoma Says:
Yes, You can get infected, if you have had unprotected sex with a woman with a yeast infection.
simply go to your doctor!
Do you have itching, pain, malodrous discharge?!
I shouldn’t know this but i do , lol..
They swab the end of your penis , almost the same as a woman.
When they squeeze the tip and yeast comes from the little hole at the tip , they swab that .
( I dont believe i blushed answering that , lol… )
"The main causes of penile yeast infections are listed below.
sexual transmission:
Candida can be transmitted between people by direct contact, and so can be considered a sexually-transmitted disease. a yeast-infected woman who has unprotected sex with a man can infect her lover, treat her own infection, and then get reinfected next time she has sex with him. if you or your lover has an active infection you should be extra-careful to follow the safer sex guidelines until you are sure both of you are infection-free. during an infection or while being treated, refrain from vaginal intercourse, wash your hands or change your gloves in between touching your own crotch and your partner’s, and keep those sex toys really really clean.
antibiotics:
although far less common than sexual transmission, the other main cause of penile yeast infection is prolonged antibiotic use. the male body has a standard contingent of creatures that inhabit the crotch, and antibiotics can rid the body of the good ones, allowing the normally-occurring yeast to take over.
diabetes:
men with diabetes are more susceptible to yeast infections, presumably because the elevated sugar in the urine makes for yummy yeast food. if you have frequent yeast infections and have other symptoms of diabetes, like you’re always thirsty and you have to urinate often, definitely go see a doctor.
condoms-nonoxynol-9:
although it’s not at all the same problem, this seems like as good a place as any to warn you that i’ve seen occasional rumors in gay magazines saying that condoms with nonoxynol-9 added to the lubricant may contribute to anal yeast infections. this is very plausible given that we know it can cause vaginal yeast infections. if this is a problem for you, try using a condom that doesn’t have a spermicidal lubricant."
"Signs and symptoms of a male yeast infection include a reddish rash, itching or burning at the tip of the penis. Fortunately, most male yeast infections are easily treated with an over-the-counter antifungal treatment, such as Monistat (yes, men can use it too). Apply the medication directly to the affected skin twice daily for a week. If the rash doesn’t go away, or if it recurs frequently, consult your doctor."
