Is candidal balanitis serious?

Patient's question:

I recently don't know what's going on, my lower body is very uncomfortable, and I'm not getting morning erections anymore. Is candidal balanitis serious?

Doctor's answer:

It is a fungal inflammation of the male foreskin and glans caused by Candida. Generally, it is not very severe and is a common fungal infection. It can basically be suppressed, symptom relief stabilized, and clinically diagnosed to self-heal and fully recover through medication. However, timely and effective treatment is required.
