Can you pass a yeast infection through sex?


i know about STIs and STDs and everything, but can a yeast infection be passed through sex?

In a word...yes. that said, it is rare that men get yeast infections. however, IF they do, it can be awful. better to get it cleared up before resuming sexual activity. besides it will be irritating to the infection. (like a yeast infection isn't irritating enough....)

Yes, it is possible to transmit it to your sex partner and it is possible (though not common) for a sex partner to develop a yeast infection. If you are treating a yeast infection 鈥?or think you have one, but haven't started treatment for it 鈥?and your partner has penile itching, redness, or discomfort, he should contact his physician. Your partner's physician should know you are treating yourself for a yeast infection (or suspect you have one) so a precise diagnosis can be made. Your partner should contact his physician if he has penile itching, redness or discomfort. He should not use MONISTAT庐 cream, which is specifically for vaginal use only. His physician should be told that you are treating yourself for a yeast infection (or think you have one) so an accurate diagnosis can be made.

If you keep having sex without treatment, you can pass it back and forth.

Yes.

Why are you children having sexual intercourse when clearly, you know so little ????

yep. it can go back and forth. Best thing to do is get treated and then abstain until infection is gone....

Yes it can. You can get it from your partner or give it to them.
