Patient's question:
Please ask the expert, there is always a fishy smell on the head of the penis, is it a disease? How should it be treated? Can you use Pristine Cream?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description, such a condition should be noted for the possibility of balanitis, especially candidal balanitis. It is more common in cases of excessive foreskin, a history of unprotected sex, mild erythema of the penis foreskin and glans, white cheesy patches on the inner foreskin and coronal sulcus of the glans, and pinpoint-sized pale red papules on the glans. If it involves the external foreskin and scrotum, scaly erythema may be observed. If the navicular fossa is affected, symptoms such as frequent urination and dysuria may occur. Locally, there may be a burning sensation and itching. For individuals with candidiasis allergy, after unprotected sex, penile itching and burning sensation may occur within a few hours, accompanied by erythema of the foreskin and glans. Occasionally, explosive edematous balanitis may occur. The main manifestations include significant edema of the penis foreskin, severe itching, and superficial ulcers. It is recommended that if you experience any of these discomforts, you should seek medical attention early for examination and diagnosis. Follow the doctor's advice, pay attention to hygiene of the external genitalia in daily life, maintain a light diet, quit smoking and alcohol, wear loose clothing, and abstain from sexual activity. It is best for your partner to undergo examination and treatment together. During treatment and recovery, sexual activity should be avoided to prevent cross-infection.
