Yeast infections are not typically classified as sexually transmitted infections (STIs), but they can occasionally be passed between sexual partners, particularly during unprotected intercourse. The timeline for developing a yeast infection after exposure to the fungus (usually Candida albicans) can vary depending on factors such as the individual’s immune system and hygiene practices. Here’s what to consider:
Timeline and Risk:
- Immediate to a Few Days: If a man is exposed to an overgrowth of Candida during sexual contact and conditions are favorable (e.g., warm, moist environment or weakened immune defenses), symptoms could appear within a few days.
- Risk Factors: Men who are uncircumcised, have diabetes, or have recently used antibiotics are at higher risk, as these conditions can promote fungal growth.
- Asymptomatic Carriers: Some men may carry the fungus without symptoms but can still potentially reinfect their partner.
Symptoms in Men:
- Redness or irritation on the penis
- Itching or burning, especially under the foreskin
- White, lumpy discharge
- Pain during urination or sex
Prevention:
- Practice good hygiene, especially after sexual contact.
- Use condoms to reduce the chance of transmission.
- Treat both partners if one is symptomatic, to avoid reinfection.
If symptoms develop, it’s best to consult a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment, which might include antifungal creams or oral medication.
