Specializes in Gynecology

Yeast: A yeast infection is not considered a sexually transmitted disease, but men can get it from their female sex partners. Up to 15% of male partners of women with vaginal yeast infections will develop itching, a mild rash on the end of the penis, or other symptoms.Sep 30, 2014 ... I hope this helps... Dr Jones Singer
