what is a yeast infection?
Best Answer: yes guys can get them. babies get them too, usually contained by their mouths. its just an overproduction of yeast, which our bodies have naturally. sometimes nearby is an imbalance and the yeast has a chance to grow in the blink of an eye, before our bodies can balance it out. and then it a moment ago gets out of hand.
Answer: "Vaginal yeast infections occur when investigational yeast is introduced into the vaginal area, or when there is an increase in the total of yeast already present in the vagina relative to the quantity of normal germs. For example, when the normal, protective bacteria are eradicated by antibiotics (taken to treat a urinary tract, respiratory, or other types of infection) or by immunosuppressive drugs, the yeast can multiply, invade tissues, and cause irritation of the facing of the vagina (vaginitis)." Symptoms include: funny-smelling (usually a fishy smell) discharge and/or 'chunky' discharge, burning, pain during sex/urination, and soreness. It can be treated with over-the-counter medicines similar to Monistat, but its usually better to see a doctor in case it is vaginitis. And yes, guys can have it--girls can transmit it to them.
