Answer 2

Yes, if he has intercourse with her, he can get a penile (penis) yeast infection. A man who knows his sexual partner has a yeast infection should wear a condom to protect himself from getting a yeast infection. Men often show absolutely no signs of having a yeast infection if they do have one. Some symptoms he could have would be a white discharge from the penis, and itching, irritation, and soreness of the head of the penis. But most men who have a yeast infection do not have ANY symptoms. However, the yeast infection can still cause damage to your internal organs, even without any outward symptoms. So it is important to treat it if you do get a yeast infection or if you have had intercourse with a woman who has a yeast infection.

Answer 3

Yes, a man can develop a yeast infection. It is not gender-specific, as your impression may be now due to the number of advertisements targeted at women for yeast infections.

Candida (the fungus that causes yeast) is present in everyone, but you get a yeast infection when there is too much of it. Usually it's an imbalance caused by a deeper health problem which allows the Candida to grow to undesirable levels.

Due to the rarity of this condition, there are few drug options available to treat it, and even fewer (maybe none) that treat yeast infection in men specifically.

Diflucan is commonly prescribed to cure the yeast infection, but the Candida, the fungus which causes the yeast infection may develop an immunity to it, which usually leads men to seek alternatives such as natural remedies.

There are over-the-counter drugs as well such as Lotrimin, but again, the drug may become ineffective over time.

Natural remedies have surprisingly worked better than drugs many times, and usually treat the condition with less side effects. Many people have successfully used these techniques even though they have not been endorsed by the drug associations due to monetary reasons. Also, some of these natural remedies take on a a holistic approach, which gets rid of the root cause of the yeast infection.
