Answer 11

Yes and it happens a lot. If you have redness, itching and wetness around your s*****m/testicles or beneath your f******n or even around your a**s, you could have a yeast infection. Hot weather and tight clothing contribute to this sort of thing as does sweat and intense physical activity. Anything you can do to keep air circulating around these dark and hidden parts helps. If you have been on a broad spectrum antibiotic lately this can cause a yeast outbreak. You don't so much 'catch" a yeast infection as have a change in the environment of you skinwhich allows yeast to grow too much and crowd out other forms of life that keep your skin in a healthy,trouble-free state.

Yeast infections can be an early sign of diabetes mellitus(excess sugar in blood and urine).

If anti-yeast creams and powders do not help, please get to your doctor

Answer 12

probably not because a yeast  getting an infection from yeast is stupid

Answer 13

yes! all a yeast infection is is an overgrowth of fungus Candida. they like to grow in the warm, damp areas. You can pick this up sexually but can grow most places, sporadically.  See a Pharmacist first, and they will advise you on traetment, and whether you need to see a DOctor. you can use Tea tree oil, but seek professional guidance

Answer 14

Yup.

It's possible for a man to contract a genital yeast infection if he has unprotected sexual intercourse with a partner who has a genital yeast infection. However, just because your girlfriend has a yeast infection doesn't mean you will get one too. Sexual transmission of yeast infections is uncommon.

Many people are under the impression that only women get genital yeast infections, but men get them too. Prolonged antibiotic use increases the risk of a yeast infection. Also, men with diabetes or impaired immune systems, such as those with HIV, are more susceptible to yeast infections.

Signs and symptoms of a male yeast infection include a reddish rash, itching or burning at the tip of the p***s. 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.

If you and your partner have symptoms of genital yeast infection, it's important that you both be treated. Otherwise, you may keep reinfecting each other. Also, it's generally recommended that you refrain from sexual contact until all signs and symptoms of the infection are gone.
