Patient's question:
The glans has red spots, and the smegma keeps increasing. I went to the hospital to see a doctor, who said it was fungal balanitis. No detailed tests were conducted; the doctor just looked at the glans. Could you please explain the relationship between fungal balanitis of the genitalia and fasciitis?Doctor's answer:
Common sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) include eight types: AIDS, gonorrhea, syphilis, chancroid, non-gonococcal urethritis, genital warts, and genital herpes. Clinically, doctors often also classify conditions such as vulvovaginal candidiasis, trichomoniasis, bacterial vaginosis, genital condylomata, granuloma inguinale (donovanosis), pediculosis pubis, and cytomegalovirus infection as STDs. Balanitis can be relieved, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, medications must be used symptomatically during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene.
