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. The medications used can include topical treatments such as ketoconazole and fluconazole. In terms of diet, it is advisable to avoid greasy, spicy, extremely cold, and irritating foods.
