Yes, a man can get a yeast infection but I'm not sure what the symptoms are.
Try a google search and see if that helps.

The answer is "yes", but the "if yes" part is more difficult.

I googleyed around, and the second least scary site was:

http://www.yeastinfectionadvisor.com/maleyeastinfection.html

In my experience, comprehensive and vast as it is, a yeast infection
is harder for a male to get than several other types of infections.
It necessarily follows that one wonders what specifically led you to
ask about "yeast" infections, instead of something else.

It is possible for men to have yeast infections.

Have you tried doing a google search on it?

Angela ;-)

Yes, anyone can get one.  And not just the genitals or anus, you can get
them in your ears, eyes and throat too.   I know babies often get it in
their throats because they don't swallow their formula properly.  But then
it get's the euphemistic term "thrush" instead.

Red inflamed skin; jock itch, peeling, flaking skin, cracked skin.
Call it thrush, yeast infection, candida infection, ringworm.  You
won't find much on it when you search for some reason but you treat it
with any of the 'azole' topical creams.  Physicians will tell you that
sugar, yeasts in the diet don't matter but in persistent cases you may
have to eliminate a lot of foods to clear it up permanently.  If you
are lucky a single two week course of antifungal cream will do it.  It
can be transmitted sexually but you can get it without any contact as
an overgrowth of candida albicans that we all have in our systems.

You might have herpes and get the herpes sores with the yeast
infection.  The official word is that the skin is stressed so you get
the sores at the same time but this is a whole different topic and I
don't think the authorities really have this part worked out very well.
Some cases of supposed yeast infection turn out to actually be herpes
so you can get an atypical herpes outbreak that you think is yeast,
cracked peeling skin, etecera but it isn't.  If it responds to 'azole'
creams or gels it's a yeast infection as far as I'm concerned.  Of
course you might have herpes also.  

Hope this helps.

[expletive deleted] right!

IMHO, US doctors are obsessively fixated on the "When you hear hoofbeats,
think horses, not zebras!" B.S.    Result:  the poor zebras never get
treated (and often the zebras are far more numerous than is supposed because
they are usually misinterpreted as horses.   Many "rare" diseases where
proven (by random screening) to actually _not_ be rare, but merely rarely
diagnosed.

Males can and do get yeast infections.  (Obviously they don't get them in
all the same places as females because they don't even have some of them!)

Signs can include any/some/all of unformed/pale/bulkly stool, ridges on the
nails, white spots on the nails, loss of weight and many others.   If you
ever notice a vinegary smell, (acetic acid) when sitting on the can that's a
_certain_ sign.   If there is acetic acid, there's yeast.

An excellent place to get tested (IMHO far better and more up-to-date tests
that usual) is the Smokey Mountains Diagnostic Labs
www.gsdl.com
(don't need to go there: your doctor sends for a kit, you take a sample and
mail it.)

Yeast can seriously wreck your lifestyle even in males and the appropriate
treatment may restore it to normal.    (Been there, done that.   THANK YOU,
GSDL (sorry, but in this case, IMHO, "shouting" is merited.   Those people
saved my bacon when a bunch of doctors with their ears firmly entangled in
their anal sphincters just couldn't seem to believe that males could get
yeast infections.)

Males do appear to be more resistant to yeast infections and IMHO when they
do get them there is usually another factor involved (malabsorption syndrome
should be a prime suspect if weight is not normal).

In the USA you'll probably need a lab result to back you up if you need an
Rx for treatment (OTOH there are the Canadian online pharmacies, some that
don't require an Rx.     Considering the massive resistance I enountered, if
I had to go there again I'd just get my Nystatin from a Canadian online and
let the jerk doctors starve!)

If that's what you've got, controlling your diet is going to be critical to
getting well.   Sugar is addictive (especially if you have a yeast
infection) and thoroughly permeates the US food supply and culture. (HFCS is
a prime reason why so many of us are overweight, IMHO)   Learn to enjoy good
food instead of eating junk that has to have tons of sugar added to make it
palatable.  I suspect that only tobacco is harder to kick than sugar (never
done tobacco so I don't know).
