Male yeast infections can occur in just the same places that women will get it – with the exception of the vagina of course!
But, as with the rest of this book, I’m not talking primarily of the yeast infections that can occur elsewhere on the body, but instead of the type of yeast infections that can occur on the genital area.
Now since men don’t have a vagina, and therefore can’t harbor or breed the Candida Albicans bacteria in their vagina, it falls to the factor of transference for men to get yeast infections.
Since this falls into the “Causes” category and since that’s the next section, and also since you probably don’t want to read the same thing twice over, we can now go to that section.
Causes
- Although there can be a few different reasons for men to get yeast infections, the most common reason is due to transferal through sexual intercourse.
- If their sexual partner has a yeast infection, then a man has a chance of also contracting a yeast infection. As I said earlier, this is not a matter of sexually transmitted diseases.
- Yeast infections can be transmitted through sexual intercourse, but that doesn’t mean that the other person will get it.
- In the case of male yeast infections, there’s only a 12-15% chance that they will get it f their partner has a yeast infection.
- And once you do get it there’s also the chance that you can pass it back to your sexual partner and get it back again as well.
