Male genital fungal infection

Male genital fungal infection is commonly referred to as male genital candida infection in medicine. It is an acute, subacute or chronic localized or systemic infection of the skin, mucous membranes and internal organs caused by Candida. Candida is a single-cell fungus, similar to yeast, round, oval or with spores produced by germination, and its size is like red blood cells or slightly larger. Because each spore is connected like beads or rosary beads during cultivation, it is named Candida, commonly known as mold.

Genital candidiasis is one of the most common candidiasis of the skin and mucous membranes, including female vulvar candidiasis and male candidal glans dermatitis. Because this disease can be caused by sexual behavior, it belongs to the category of sexually transmitted diseases.

Genital candidiasis is usually caused by Candida albicans. Female patients mainly present with vulvovaginitis, also known as candidal vaginitis. Male patients mainly develop glansitis. Male candidiasis is mainly transmitted through sexual contact. In addition to the above infection routes, females can be infected through self-vaccination.
