    Men can catch yeast infections from their partners, yes. However, if your husband is circumcised, it's less likely that he will end up with a yeast infection. Just to be safe, he should wash up very thoroughly after sex, or you should avoid sex with him altogether (obviously refrain from receiving oral sex).

    yes he can get it. my hubby and i learned the hard way... but for him it will not be the exact same symptoms. under the foreskin will be red sore itchy. maybe some dicharge, but not like the kind that a women has. go to doc, and they can give you a cream for both of you. this really isnt a big deal at all... if you cant get to doc. then go to womens section and find a topical cream and just use for both of you....

    Don't worry, I don't think anything happens, you just need to be more aware down there. It is an infection. If it worrys you then clean him with a towel and warm water.

    Candidiasis is the second most common cause of vaginal irritation, or vaginitis, and can also occur on the male genitals, which means he could have also given it to you.

    Yeppers he can get it. Yeast is more common for women but men can get them too.

    you can pass it to your husband yes and then he will give it right back if left untreated.....however....typically if you have a yeast infection..you know it
