Patient's question:
All the underwear I bought are very good, and I often change my laundry. I also sterilize my shorts, but my own genital organs have developed severe balanitis. Why do I have candidal balanitis? What measures are used to this balanitis? Is the recurrence rate high after the second episode?Doctor's answer:
Candidal balanitis is often caused by cross-infection, such as inflammation in the female reproductive system, which is a fungal infection by Candida. During sexual activity, it can lead to recurrent candidal balanitis in the male's glans and foreskin. Moreover, the recurrence rate of this condition is relatively high, and the treatment course for candidal balanitis is also quite long. It is recommended to use broad-spectrum antibacterial and antifungal medications.In addition to timely treatment for balanitis, patients should always maintain a positive attitude when facing the disease.
