Patient's question:

What are the symptoms of fungal balanoposthitis? I have excessive prepuce and I'm very worried about getting this disease. So please tell me what the symptoms are and how to prevent it. Friends who know can tell you.

Doctor's answer:

Candidal balanitis caused by mold infection often presents as erythema of the glans mucosa, local edema, smooth appearance with mild scaling at the edges, and may develop into balanitis with papules and pustules spreading outward. If correctly diagnosed, the solution is very simple: apply Yifuqing ointment locally twice a day. First, rinse with clean water before applying the medication. Generally, it takes about a week to heal. Yifuqing cream is the same as Triamcinolone Acetonide Econazole Cream, which has excellent antifungal effects. The treatment course is 2-4 weeks. To treat fungal infections of the genital organs, both partners should be treated simultaneously, and sexual activity should be avoided during the treatment period. The treatment course must be sufficient to prevent recurrence.
