Patient's question:
I have been married to my wife for many years, and we have not used any form of contraception, but we have never been able to conceive. After checking at the hospital, I found out that the cause of my itchy foreskin is unclear. Please help me understand what could be causing this.Doctor's answer:
Men who contract mold can also experience symptoms such as odor, localized itching, abnormal discharge, and more. It is recommended that you actively seek treatment based on your specific situation and pay attention to preventing fungal infections in daily life. For example:1. Do not keep long nails;
2. Wash underwear and socks separately, especially if family members have conditions like athlete's foot or toenail fungus;
3. Do not misuse antibiotics;
4. After washing clothes, pay attention to air-drying them in the sun or a well-ventilated area;
5. Be cautious in public places to prevent indirect transmission;
6. Use proper contraception, such as condoms;
7. Underwear should preferably be made of cotton for better comfort, breathability, and looseness;
8. If one partner has a fungal infection, the other should also be tested and treated to prevent cross-infection. Wishing you good health.
