What does a yeast infection do to the male partner?

Usually nothing: Men don't tend to have problems with yeast infections unless they are diabetic.

Specializes in Psychiatry

Yeast: Men with yeast infections may have burning or itching at the urethra (hole in the penis). There may be a red rash as well. Monistat can be applied to the tip of the penis twice a day. If not resolving in a week, see physician.
