Patient's question:
Hello:Usually, my reproductive organs are quite normal, and I don’t have any discomfort. However, every time I have sex with my wife, the next day I’ll feel severe itching in my foreskin. Sometimes it becomes red and swollen with discharge, but the glans is normal. I’ve also noticed that my foreskin is getting thicker. What could be the reason? Thank you.
Doctor's answer:
Hello! It might be balanitis. If there is no history of unsafe sexual contact, fungal infection is generally the most common cause. Treatment primarily involves topical antifungal medications. You can choose between Terbinafine Cream (Lamisil) or Miconazole Cream (Daktarin) based on your situation. Apply it twice a day after washing the area thoroughly. Use a cotton swab to apply a thin layer. Continue for 1 to 2 weeks. If necessary, consult a doctor.
