Patient's question:
Doctor, the glans has been red and swollen these days. After applying clotrimazole, it itches. What is the disease? Sometimes my wife has a white discharge and it also itches, and she applies clotrimazole too. What should I do about the red and swollen glans these days?Doctor's answer:
In your case, it may be a Candida infection. Both partners need to be treated simultaneously, otherwise they can infect each other. It is recommended that both men and women go to the hospital for a thorough examination to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Personal hygiene should be paid attention to in daily life, and sexual activity must be avoided during the treatment period. For patients with red and swollen glans, timely treatment can reduce the incidence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should receive timely medication and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene.
