A member asked:

I've had frequent yeast infections with this pregnancy and think my husband may have it. what can he take over the counter?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hygiene: Yeast requires a moist environment with material that it can feed on such as in the vagina Your husband can avoid this by simply bathing and drying himself and maintaining good hygiene. If he still has signs of infection then there is some underlying issue which will require a doctors attention.
