Can you pass thrush to a male?

Yes, thrush, which is caused by an overgrowth of Candida yeast, can be transmitted to males through sexual contact, although it is not classified as a sexually transmitted infection. Men can develop symptoms of thrush, such as irritation or a rash on the penis, if they come into contact with an infected partner. Maintaining good hygiene and treating any existing infections can help reduce the risk of transmission.
