Patient's question:
Male, 27 years old, last week it seemed like he had a slight fever, then felt tired and sleepy. When he got home at night, he noticed a red ring had appeared on the head of his penis, with some bleeding. At the time, he went to the hospital, and the doctor said it was caused by balanitis. Please ask: Can one have sex with a condom if they have fungal balanitis?Doctor's answer:
From your description, it is possible to wear a condom during coitus. Pay attention to the cleanliness and hygiene of sexual life, and actively treat it, because fungal balanitis tends to recur repeatedly. You can use physiological saline to rinse the penis and foreskin, apply antifungal ointment, such as Symptomatic Ointment, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Finally, patients should develop good daily habits, maintain regular sleep patterns, abstain from smoking and alcohol, and increase daily exercise to enhance their immunity and prevent the recurrence of the condition.
