A member asked:
Can men get yeast infections & give one right back to you ? or bv?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Very Rarely: Men rarely get yeast infections and don't get bacterial vaginosis. Treating the man has never bee shown to help reduce yeast infections or BV infections in women. Its more likely that yeast is transmitted by washing your underwear with his socks. The same yeast that causes athlete's foot also causes yeast infections. Taking probiotics and eating yoghurt with active cultures can help.
