Candida infection in men

If a man has a foreskin that is too long, it will be very easy to cause fungal infection, especially Candida! If a man has a Candida infection, it will not only cause itching of the penis, but also cause pain. Especially during sexual intercourse, the penis is particularly prone to pain, which seriously affects the life between couples. Therefore, male friends must not ignore Candida infection.

In fact, the greatest harm of Candida infection in men is more than that. Because it is contagious, if you do not wear a condom during sexual intercourse, it is easy to cause infection to your sexual partner. Once a woman is infected with Candida, it is quite difficult to treat.

Candidal balanitis refers to the Candida infection of the foreskin and glans, which is mainly related to sexual contact. It is very easy for a woman with Candidal vaginitis to transmit it to a man. Of course, indirect contact with the underwear, bath towels and other objects of Candida patients, coupled with the foreskin being too long, it is also very easy for Candida to multiply in the foreskin, coronal sulcus and other places and cause infection.

The clinical manifestations of candidal infection are erythema with a smooth surface, mild desquamation at the edges, and satellite-shaped papules and small pustules that slowly expand in all directions with generally clear boundaries. During the acute attack period, the glans mucosa is erythematous and edematous, with unclear boundaries, and sometimes erosion and exudation. Candida can be found by direct microscopic examination and culture of samples taken from the lesion. Sometimes the glans penis is an allergic inflammation caused by Candida infection. In this case, the pathogen test is often negative. Recurrent episodes of candidal balanitis can cause foreskin cracking, fibrosis, and sclerotic changes in the glans tissue.

The above mainly introduces the symptoms of Candida infection in men. It also reminds male friends that if they want to prevent Candida infection, they must be careful not to share bath towels, bathtubs, underwear, etc. with others. And you must be careful not to have a chaotic sexual life, otherwise it will directly lead to Candida infection.
