What should I do if I get fungal balanitis?

Patient's question:

My foreskin is a bit long. During sexual activity, if something isn't cleaned properly, it will itch after three days. The glans becomes red, but the itching isn't very intense. When erect, I can see dark red papules, sometimes with slight itching. Small, tiny particles have also grown around the foreskin. I've used potassium permanganate and Daktarin, but there's no significant effect. What should I do if I have fungal balanoposthitis?

Doctor's answer:

Candidal balanitis is one of the common diseases in urology. This condition is caused by a fungal virus and can be transmitted to the female partner through sexual activity. There are several treatment methods for candidal balanitis. If the patient wants to completely cure the disease, it is best to treat the wife simultaneously. This can effectively prevent recurring episodes. Treatment methods: 1. Remove irritating factors. 2. When there is discharge, apply an acidic solution with a boracic solution for wet dressing.
