What is fungal balanitis?

Fungal balanitis is caused by fungal infection. Many people do not pay attention to hygiene for a long time, and the foreskin wraps the glans, which leads to fungal infection in a dark and humid environment. It may also be the object of the same room, with fungal vaginitis, and the patient is infected after the same room.

After infection, the glans penis may be red, swollen, oozing, itchy, and some membranous and tofu-like secretions. Smear examination can find fungi.

It is suggested that fungal balanitis should be treated actively after the diagnosis, and dyclonine, fluconazole or ketoconazole should be used externally, and it will return to normal after 3-5 days. This situation requires both husband and wife to treat at the same time.

Extended data:

1. The occurrence of male balanitis foreskin can lead to the health of male reproductive system, and can induce male prostatitis, epididymitis and orchitis. If epididymitis is not treated in time and effectively, it will bring more serious harm to male genitals.

2, male foreskin balanitis can also lead to male urinary system infection. For example, men can induce cystitis, pyelonephritis, nephritis and other diseases. When men suffer from chronic balanitis and cannot be cured for a long time, it is easy to cause this kind of disease, which can be life-threatening in severe cases.

3, foreskin balanitis will also affect the sensitivity of nerves in the glans, coupled with the damage of inflammation, making it easy to premature ejaculation in sexual life, which can lead to impotence in the long run. Moreover, when the penis is erect, the hypertrophic narrow ring formed by atrophy and adhesion of foreskin is pulled back, which leads to unstable erection.

4, can lead to male infertility. Because the long-term stimulation of inflammatory factors regulates the sperm and sexual response of reproductive system, inflammatory secretions hidden in the foreskin during sexual intercourse enter the vagina with semen, the quality of semen decreases, and ovarian cells are destroyed, resulting in male infertility.
