A yeast infection is an overload of bacteria. It can be transmitted to men.
In fact men can develop it on their own as well.
With men however it is typically easier to cure as the infected areas are usually not as "hidden"
A man may not even realize that what he has is a yeast infection as the early symptoms are generally a bad smell and an itch. If they respond quickly with a thorough cleansing of the area the infection may be gone almost immediately. Unlike with a women where there are far more places for the infection to hide and spread so they may require more targeted deep cleaning or medications.
