Patient's question:
Doctor, I'd like to explain my own situation. First, I have a bit of excessive foreskin, and since it's something I was born with, I never thought about getting it corrected. Second, I have the habit of sexual intercourse, which is something I developed later. I want to change it, but I've found that once it becomes a habit, it's very difficult to control myself. Recently, I had a thorough examination at the hospital and found that I have balanoposthitis, and I think it must be related to this.Doctor's answer:
Actually, this is a very common disease in clinical diagnosis—Candidal balanoposthitis (many people call it "mold," but it's actually Candida). It is more common in young and middle-aged adults aged 20-50. Due to the abundant secretion of sebaceous glands in young and middle-aged adults, along with moist external genitalia, wearing thick underwear or insufficient external genital hygiene can exacerbate the condition. Additionally, patients should always maintain clean external genitalia, wear breathable underwear, and avoid applying topical creams like "Dermatop" casually. Immediate family members should also actively cooperate in examinations and treatment.Wishing you good health. The harm caused by urological diseases to patients is very significant. Once symptoms are noticed, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly while also focusing on self-care education, eating more fruits and vegetables, and avoiding irritating foods. We hope that urological patients can receive professional treatment.
