Patient's question:
Please. When I was a child, I had my foreskin removed because it was too long and got infected (as the doctor said). The doctor only removed the foreskin and did not treat the inflammation. It has been three years since the circumcision, and I am not quite sure when I got infected. A few days ago, I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said it was a fungal infection.Doctor's answer:
Hello! Infected with mold is indeed a very troublesome thing. However, it can also be quite troublesome to treat. You should take medication orally, use topical treatments, and add disinfection as a three-pronged approach. Oral medication can be Nystatin 500,000 units, four times a day, or Ketoconazole 400 mg, twice a day, for a total of 5 days. For topical use, clean the external genital area with a 2% sodium bicarbonate solution twice a day. The urethral opening can also be treated with 1% gentian violet, applied daily. Change and disinfect underwear daily, and you can boil it in boiling water for 10 minutes. If you have a sexual partner, they should also be treated. Be careful not to overuse antibiotics. By persisting with this for a period of time, and having more than two hospital check-ups with negative mold results, you can consider yourself recovered. Treatment is actually not difficult; the key is persistence. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
