Patient's question:
At the age of 37, a man doesn't know why he suddenly got sick and also felt uncomfortable. Please ask: What are the symptoms of balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Candidal balanitis recurs, and has nothing to do with other sexually transmitted diseases. Excessive foreskin is prone to transmitting candidiasis. The foreskin grows on its own if it's long. Excessive foreskin is easily contagious. HIV is a viral infection, with three transmission routes: sexual contact (including oral and anal sex), blood transmission, and mother-to-child transmission. After infection, advanced testing can detect it 14-21 days later, with a peak at 6 weeks. For this consultation, the doctor updated the summary and recommendations.
