During sex with a man can a woman give him a?yeast infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yeast in males: Yes. It doesn't happen very often, but it certainly can happen. It happens most in men who are uncircumcised because the foreskin gives yeast a good place to grow. It is not a serious problem and can be treated easily with over the counter anti-fungal creams like Clotrimazole 1%.
