Can Yeast Infection Be Contracted Through Oral Sex?

Yes,it may
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,
Yes, it's possible to pass a yeast infection to a partner during unprotected oral sex when s male partner is having yeast infection.
The yeast,commonly candida,can cause yeast infections of the mouth, which is called thrush or oral thrush.
Candida actually exists normally in the mouth and genital regions but usually at low levels.
When the level of Candida gets disturbed, through passing yeast infections from the genital to the oral region, it may cause oral thrush.
To prevent this, practice good oral hygiene and treat genital yeast infections early.
Also, it would be advisable to avoid oral sex if one partner is feeling itchy or uncomfortable or yeast infection .
Use condoms to prevent the spread of Candida.
Hope this detailed information will be helpful.
Regards,
