Patient's question:
I have been experiencing itching in my lower testicles recently. I suspect it might be related to my recent sexual encounters with her. So, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the diagnosis was candidal balanitis. I would like to ask if candidal balanitis is serious? Is it necessary to seek medical treatment? Are there any risks involved in treating candidal balanitis besides the treatment itself?Doctor's answer:
According to your current condition, it may be due to candidal balanitis causing scrotal itching. It is recommended that you consider using topical antifungal creams promptly, such as miconazole cream, while paying attention to maintaining dryness and cleanliness in the groin area. Also, be mindful of a light diet and avoid spicy foods. If this condition does not improve over a long period, it is advisable to seek medical treatment promptly. In fact, having balanitis is not something to be afraid of. Patients should believe that they can overcome the illness as long as they recognize the symptoms early and receive appropriate treatment.
