What are the symptoms of candidal glansitis?

Candida balanitis can affect men's reproductive health and cause symptoms such as flushing, inflammatory papules, or a small amount of scaling exudation on the glans penis. Men should make timely judgments and take treatment measures based on these symptoms.

1. The symptoms of candidal balanitis are redness and inflammatory papules on the glans penis, a little scaling or exudation, sticky secretions on the glans penis, or white pseudomembranous white membrane. Itching and burning sensation are also felt.

2. The incubation period of condyloma acuminatum is generally from 2 weeks to 8 months, with an average of 3 months. Due to the long incubation period, there is often sexual intercourse again during this period, so the exact date of infection is difficult to calculate.

3. The skin lesions of condyloma acuminatum are single or small and scattered at the beginning. They are soft, light red, long, with a pointed top, sometimes thread-like, with pedicles, and gradually increase in number and size. They are nipple-like, vegetable-like, etc. The surface of the wart is uneven and rough, white, red or light gray. The lesions in the lower temperature and dry parts of the genitals are often small and flat, similar to flat warts in other parts. Flat warts: Lesions in areas with higher temperatures and infiltration are often filamentous or papillary, and some are fused into masses. There is often accumulation of purulent secretions between the cracks, which are easily combined with bacterial infection to form erosions and a foul odor. Some erosions bleed when touched. Scratching due to moisture and itching leads to self-inoculation, which promotes the growth and spread of skin lesions. People who have oral sex may also have genital warts growing in the throat.

4 The fundamental difference between the two is that condyloma acuminatum is a sexually transmitted disease, while candidal glansitis is an inflammation. The former is much more serious. Candidal glansitis can be treated with topical non-irritating antifungal widows. If the effect is not good, itraconazole 200 mg can be taken orally once a week for 2 consecutive times, and then topical antifungal drugs can be used to maintain the efficacy. The course of treatment varies from person to person. Patients should pay attention to cleanliness and hygiene, take frequent baths and change underwear frequently, avoid extramarital sex, and abide by moral ethics. In case of similar situations, condoms should be worn and washed carefully.
