explaining to a man what an infection is

Have you ever had to explain to a man what a yeast infection and/or bv is?? It's so awkward when explaining it today was my first time trying to tell a man about it and I felt so uncomfortable but he had to know why he won't be getting any vagina for the next 5 days. He asked "can I get that?" "Do I need to get checked?" 🙄🤦🏽‍♀️
