Patient's question:
I used to have sex with my wife without any issues with balanitis! But recently, whether I wear a condom or not, it seems like I always get candidal balanitis! Why is that? We didn't have it before!Doctor's answer:
Based on your situation, it is suspected that the infection occurred through sexual intercourse. Candidal vaginitis is a type of gynecological inflammation, generally spread through sexual intercourse, bathtubs, toilets, industrial contaminated instruments, and sterile gauze. It is not a sexually transmitted disease. It is recommended that you and your partner go to the hospital for a systematic and thorough examination, as well as treatment. Generally, oral medication or a combination of systemic and local treatment is preferred. In addition to active treatment, patients with balanitis should also pay attention to maintaining a good mood in daily life, as a positive mood is very helpful for the complete recovery of the disease.
