Question 1

need doctor's help! will my husband catch a yeast infection during sex if i have one?

Accepted Answer

This can occur.: But getting it this way is not that common.

Question 2

can my husband catch a yeast infection if i just have it on my skin around vagina without a condom and not inside her?

Accepted Answer

Low risk: Yeast is not a reason to avoid sex, except if the infection is causing sufficient discomfort to cause pain or discomfort. Certainly your husband could catch yeast from you, but usually that causes no symptoms in the male and isn't anything to be concerned about. If he develops redness, itching, or irritation of the penis, he can share your yeast cream. But probably that won't happen.

Question 3

if my husband has a yeast infection will it cause me to catch bv?

Accepted Answer

No : Neither BV or yeast are transmitted sexually.

Question 4

how do you catch a yeast infection and how long does it last?

Accepted Answer

Not transmissible: Yeasts are part of the normal germ population of the gastrointestinal tract.
Yeast infections are not transmitted but develop whenever there is an imbalance in the body's germ population, such as when you take antibiotics, or when there is a drop in the immunity level.

Question 5

my husband has a yeast infection. i was wondering how long before i know if i have one too. it's been a week since his started and he has meds?

Yeast infection : That is most likely due to diabetes.   Does your husband have diabetes?   If not, he should be evaluated by his doctor for that or other problems with his glucose and insulin metabolism.    It is common for a man and woman to pass yeast back and forth between them.

Question 6
