A member asked:
Ive read bv cannot be transmitted from women to men sexually, is it same with candidas vaginosis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No urethral infect-n: Although men would not get an internal infection with Candida, if the genitals remain damp from tight clothing or sweating a lot, it is possible to get a skin yeast infection in the genital area. This responds well to topical sprays or powder used for jock itch, which refers to infection in the groin from fungi commonly causing athlete's foot.
