Yes, they can catch it from their female partner. If she has a yeast infection (is unaware of it at the beginning stages) men especially who have not been circumscised are more apt to pick up infections very easily. Men who are not circumscised must be sure they pull back the foreskin and gently clean this area every day. Men who are circumscised can still be get yeast infections from their partner. Marcy

Yes they can both by creating it themselves and by intercourse with an infected female. As for a male cure I'm not sure, but you should go to a Doctor to make sure it's not something else.

Can you catch yeast infection from another person?

No. Yeast infections are caused by an overgrowth of a yeast that naturally exists in the vagina. Since you already have that yeast in you so you can't be "infected" by anyone else. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In fact the yeast, Candida, can be spread. That is how infants often get it - by putting things in their mouth. As someone who has dealt with massive yeast infections while nursing both my children, I can attest to the fact that the infection can be spread. I'm not positive that you can catch it from a toilet seat, but there are other ways to get it besides plain overgrowth and other places to get it besides the vagina.
