What Is a Male Yeast Infection?
3. How Common Are Male Yeast Infections?
Male yeast infections are generally not very common. However, some men may be more prone to them than others. In most cases, females are more susceptible to yeast infections simply because of the layout of their anatomy and because vaginal candidiasis is so common.
However, candida yeast can affect men’s reproductive organs as well. Candida yeast is responsible for as many as 35% of balanitis cases in men. Though male yeast infections are less common, they do happen and can cause significant discomfort and embarrassment.
