Patient's question:
I experienced symptoms of balanitis after my first sexual encounter with my girlfriend. She told me that her discharge was also normal with no odor, but she was no longer a virgin. This confused me. Before this, I was a virgin, and my private area was healthy with no symptoms. Why did I get this condition after contact with her? I heard that candidiasis can cause this infection in men.Doctor's answer:
Regarding your condition, consider the possibility of candidiasis. Candidiasis can be treated with baking soda water for external cleaning, nystatin vaginal suppositories, oral itraconazole, and clotrimazole. During treatment, sexual intercourse is prohibited, and underwear should be changed daily, washed, and boiled for disinfection. After one course of treatment, if the candidiasis test results are negative, follow-up tests should be conducted after each menstrual cycle to ensure the results remain negative. Continuous consolidation treatment for three courses is required to be considered cured. It is also recommended that your partner receives treatment concurrently, taking nystatin tablets for one week. Shoes and socks should be washed separately from underwear.I suggest using Li Baichen Funi Jing Dan, which has a strong enzymatic effect on mold. Generally, within 10-18 days of use, even particularly stubborn mold can be completely enzymatically decomposed. A routine vaginal discharge test will show that the mold has completely turned negative.
