Patient's question:
Will Candida balanitis trigger prostatitis?I have Candida balanitis, and now I have lower abdominal pain. I can feel a lymph node in the groin. Is it prostatitis?
Doctor's answer:
Hello: Prostatitis can be caused by certain factors. As for whether you have prostatitis, it is recommended that you undergo a prostatic fluid examination. Your symptoms cannot be ruled out as a possibility of prostatitis. It is advised to regularly clean the foreskin and glans to maintain cleanliness and dryness in the foreskin cavity. If you have phimosis or excessive foreskin, circumcision should be considered. In your daily diet, it is recommended to eat a light diet and avoid spicy and irritating foods. It is advisable for you to seek medical attention promptly and use antibiotics under the guidance of a physician to control the inflammation. After the inflammation is controlled, you can consider surgical removal of the foreskin, which is very effective. Paying attention to local hygiene can effectively prevent inflammation.
