Patient's question:
Doctor from Changzheng Hospital, hello! My glans and perineum are very itchy. The doctor from Changzheng Hospital said I am infected with Candida, but they did not do a test. I have taken the medicine, but it has not improved. I suspect I might be infected with other bacteria. Do you think I need to do a test? What else should I do?Auxiliary tests: Have been tested, but no tests were performed.
History of diagnosis and treatment, as well as effectiveness: Candida, but no improvement.
Doctor's answer:
Hello:It manifests as red spots on the glans, with small pustules or papules on the surface. It can also present as localized edema of the glans mucosa, mild scaling at the edges, and may involve the expansion of papules and pustules to form glans erosion. Recurrent candidal balanitis can lead to local changes such as dryness, cracking, and fibrosis. The treatment for this condition typically involves topical antifungal creams, and in severe cases, oral antifungal medications may be prescribed.
