Symptoms of a fungal infection on the penis

General reproductive organ diseases are highly contagious, so both men and women must pay attention to the care of their private parts during sexual intercourse. In particular, the male penis is very susceptible to fungal infections. If the male penis is infected with fungi and is not discovered in time, it can easily be transmitted to women during sexual intercourse, causing gynecological diseases in women. So what are the symptoms if the penis is infected with fungus?

Genital candidiasis is a common genital disease in men and women. It is a genital disease caused by a fungal infection called Candida albicans. This disease is easily spread among women, causing symptoms such as increased vaginal discharge and vulva itching. Because this disease can be transmitted through sexual intercourse, the World Health Organization lists it as a sexually transmitted disease.

Candida albicans is a saprophytic parasite that usually lives in the human skin, mucous membranes, digestive tract and other organs. When the body's resistance is reduced, Candida albicans will multiply, and when it reaches a certain amount, the human body will become ill, so Candida albicans is a conditionally pathogenic bacterium. When the glycogen content of women's vaginal epithelial cells increases and the acidity increases, Candida albicans will multiply and cause vaginitis. Therefore, this disease is common in pregnant women, diabetic patients and patients receiving estrogen treatment. In addition, the disease can be transmitted through sexual intercourse. The reason is that couples often develop the disease at the same time, which is sufficient reason to prove that the disease can be transmitted through sexual intercourse. Of course, Candida albicans can also be transmitted through public baths, bathtubs, bath towels, swimsuits, clothes, medical devices and dressings.

Balanitis is a common men's disease, which often brings various troubles to male friends. If it is not treated properly or in time, it will bring more troubles. So men must pay attention to this. There are many causes of balanitis, and we will analyze them for you.

Generally speaking, fungal infection is the most common cause of glans inflammation. When the glans penis is not sanitary or the woman has fungal vaginitis, she is prone to the disease if her body's resistance is low. In addition, some patients may have underlying diabetes.

During treatment, care should be taken to keep the glans area clean and dry, and on this basis, topical antifungal drugs can be used.

If the inflammation of the glans is caused by an allergy, you need to find out what the allergen is. Some people may be allergic to anti-inflammatory drugs, condoms, etc. In this case, they need to stay away from allergens and use anti-allergic drugs at the same time. In addition, antibiotics should be used appropriately to prevent secondary infection.

Inflammation of the glans caused by superficial wound infection is often caused by varying degrees of abrasions on the glans during sexual intercourse. The treatment is simpler. In addition to keeping the local area clean, using antibiotic ointment is sufficient.
