What is fungal infection of glans?

Many people do not understand what fungal infection is. In fact, fungal infection belongs to fungal infection, also known as fungal glansitis. It often occurs in young people between the ages of 20 and 50. In addition, the skin of adolescents during this period has vigorous secretions, which may lead to localized bacterial infection. In addition, sexual life with spouse may gradually lead to the spread of this bacteria to each other, causing vaginitis. Therefore, fungal infection of glans is very serious.

Fungal glans inflammation often occurs in young people between the ages of 20 and 50. Due to the vigorous secretion of sebaceous glands and moist vulva in young people, coupled with wearing thicker underwear or insufficient cleaning of the vulva, it is very easy for fungi scattered in the air or parasitic here to take root and sprout, causing trouble and possibly being transmitted to the spouse.

Many young and middle-aged women often wash their vaginas due to changes in their physical constitution, taking antibiotics or other drugs, or being too clean, which causes changes in the acid-base environment in the vagina. The parasitic bacteria that normally control each other become unbalanced, and the fungi (molds) that parasitize here take advantage of the situation and enter, causing inflammation of the patient's vulva and vagina. After sex, it is very likely to be transmitted to the spouse, causing fungal glans inflammation.

Causes

Fungal glansitis is a common male genital disease caused by Candida albicans infection.

The main routes of infection are:

1. Sexually Transmitted Infections

The female reproductive tract mucosa is home to Candida albicans, some of which may develop disease, while others may not develop disease and are long-term carriers. During sexual intercourse, these bacteria can be transmitted to the male genitals. If the foreskin is too long and personal hygiene is not taken care of, it is easy to cause fungal glans balanitis.

2. Using contaminated bathing utensils and bathing in unclean bathtubs or pools.

3. Use soapy water too much to clean the foreskin and glans penis.

4. Long-term use of broad-spectrum antibiotics, hormones, or immunosuppressants.

5. Diabetes is an important cause of infection.

Symptoms

1. Itching and burning of the glans penis and penis skin are the most prominent symptoms of this disease.

2. The glans penis, coronal sulcus and inner foreskin are red and swollen, with scattered red papules.

3. Sticky white dirt resembling tofu dregs can be seen on the glans penis, inner foreskin, and coronal sulcus.

4. When the scrotum is infected, the skin of the scrotum may become red and scaly. It may also be accompanied by itching and pain, which may be aggravated by washing with soapy water.

5. Urinary tract infection may cause urinary pain, frequent urination, urgency, burning and itching in the urethra.
