Ladies: You Could Be Trading Yeast Infections With Your Boyfriend
Website design By BotEap.com“Can I get a yeast infection from my girlfriend? I thought women only get yeast infection. How can a man get yeast infection?”
Website design By BotEap.comLadies, I think you know where I’m going with this – these are just some of the comments made by the millions of men who are misinformed about yeast and Candida infections. Our good friends with that Y chromosome are completely in the dark, and it is your duty to educate your male partner and let him know that men are susceptible to yeast infections too.
Website design By BotEap.comHere’s the deal: yeast isn’t particularly picky about its host as long as the environment is warm and humid. Candida albicans (yeast infection) is fond of clammy and sweaty skin and this condition is boldly present during sexual intercourse.
Website design By BotEap.comHaving said all this, it is quite common for men to contract a genital yeast infection if they have unprotected sex with a partner who has a yeast infection. The alteration of the normal conditions of the urethra of the males is what causes the excessive growth of the yeast. Men with uncircumcised penises are at higher risk due to the possibility of bacteria being stored under the foreskin. Encourage your partner to remove the foreskin during the shower to ensure cleanliness.
