Not commonly known is that yeast infections are, among other things, an STD, and that men can get yeast infections. While not commonly transmitted via sexual contact, yeast infections, technically known as Candidiasis, can be spread to the penis or mouth in this manner. Symptoms in men are similar to those in women: itching, irritation, slight discharge, sores on the glans and foreskin, and appearance of a "white cheese-like material" on the glans. In oral candidiasis, creamy, white, painful patches develop in the mouth. Treatment for either variety can include application of antifungal creams or oral antifungal drugs.
