Is it possible to transfer a yeast infection from female to male?

Answer by  docryan (84)

Yes it is very possible. If the female who has a yeast infection has sex with an unprotected male the yeast will travel up the urethral canal and end up in the prostate. May not necessary make him sick right away but may cause problems later in life.

Yes, it is possible to transfer a yeast infection from an infected female to a healthy male during unprotected sexual intercourse, causing the male to suffer from penile candidiasis. This is especially true if the male has low, weakened, undeveloped immunity, is under steroidal or antibiotics treatment and has metabolic illnesses such as diabetes.

Yes, males can contract a yeast infection from a woman during sexual intercourse. A condom should be worn and you should warn your partner about your condition. However, if you have bacterial vaginitis, which is often confused with a yeast infection, it is not contagious.

Yes, definitely. Fungus such as Tenea Cruris, Candidiasis are some among other Sexually Transmitted Fungal infections.Fungus prefers moist surfaces and can get transferred easily!
