Can you get fungal balanitis?

Patient's question:

If you get it, how is it diagnosed? I went to the hospital, and the doctor said it's nothing, very dismissive. I suggested testing for mold or Candida, and he said it's impossible to check for men, as it disappears after a wash. Does having a long foreskin cause men to get fungal balanitis?

Doctor's answer:

Men can also change the medication for candidal balanitis. Opinion: If men change the medication for candidal balanitis, there may be white discharge in the foreskin. It is recommended to flip it over daily for cleaning. If the foreskin is too long, circumcision surgery can be performed. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the recurrence. If it is not treated in time, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take oral medication in a timely manner and avoid overwork in daily life, while paying attention to personal hygiene.
