dwoods627,
First off, men can also get yeast infections, and they can be passed back and forth so it would be best to see your doctor to determine if indeed you have a yeast infection, especially if you are having any symptoms.
Things that encourage the overgrowth of yeast include using antibiotics, having high estrogen levels such as during pregnancy, hormone replacement use and birth control pills, having diabetes, having an impaired immune system, using corticosteroids, being overweight, having the genital area exposed to moisture for a long period of time, using an IUD, and having a partner with symptoms of a yeast infection. Make sure she eats a balanced diet, and drinking acidophilus milk or eating yogurt that contains live Lactobacillus organisms can also be helpful in keeping a balance. Cotton underwear is also helpful in preventing moisture from developing. Make sure after going to the bathroom that she wipes from front to back. She needs to avoid using of any types of feminine sprays, talcs etc as they can also disrupt the normal balance. Also avoid any type of scented toilet paper.
