Question 1

can a yeast infection cause penile cancer?

Accepted Answer

No, not related: Penile cancer is not very common, but a bad thing to have because the treatment might include cutting off part of the penis. A person should see a doctor whenever there is any unusual change on his penis. Yeast infections on either the penis or in a vagina are mild problems that are treated with anti-fungals. A yeast infection does not cause penile cancer.

Question 2

does a yeast infection cause vaginal cancer or any other serious problems?

Accepted Answer

No, not related: The typical vaginal yeast infections are fairly common, and over-the-counter medications are available. Yeast infections do not cause vaginal cancer. Regular check-ups with one's doctor are a good way to lower one's chances of getting cervical cancer and vaginal cancer. Any unusual vaginal symptoms can be evaluated by a primary care or ob-gyn doctor.

Accepted Answer

: If it was cancer or pre-cancer the test would say so. The wording indicates there was inflammation, the type of common findings seen with a vaginitis/cervicitis caused by any one of a number of common germs including yeast. If they indicated follow-up in a year it means they were not concerned about the finding and you should not either. Please open a dialog with the doc on this point.
