Fungal glansitis is a common symptom for young people aged 20-50. And there are many causes, including damp vulva or infection with mold scattered in the air. This is a disease that can be transmitted between couples, so it must be taken seriously. So, what are the clinical manifestations of fungal glansitis?

The incidence of fungal glansitis in men is increasing

The incidence of male candidal glansitis is increasing day by day. The main reason is related to sexual contact. Anyone who has sex with a woman with candidal vaginitis is easily infected. Secondly, it is contacted with indirect objects, such as other people's underwear, bath towels, bathtubs, etc. In addition, if the foreskin is too long, Candida will multiply and proliferate in the inner plate of the foreskin, the coronal sulcus and the glans. It has been found that 69.4% of men who have sexual contact with patients with candidal vaginitis have genital infections, and the detection rate of Candida on the penis of husbands of patients with candidal vaginitis is 4 times that of husbands without vaginitis.

Common clinical manifestations

The main clinical conditions are as follows: the common symptoms are mild flushing, dryness and smoothness of the foreskin and glans penis, and white cheese-like patches on the inner foreskin and the coronal sulcus of the glans penis. When the scrotum is affected, a scaly erythematous rash can be seen on the contact surface with the penis, with obvious itching. When the urethra is involved, frequent urination and urgency may occur. A small number of patients may present with acute edematous foreskin and glans inflammation, with obvious foreskin edema and itching, small ulcers, and sometimes diabetes. A very small number of men experience penile itching, burning sensation, flushing of the foreskin and glans penis within a few hours after having sex with women with candidal vaginitis. The appearance of this symptom may be due to the patient's high allergy to Candida albicans.

Other performance

It manifests as erythema on the glans penis, with small pustules or papules on the surface. It can also manifest as local edema of the glans penis mucosa, mild desquamation at the edges, and papules and pustules that expand to form glans penis erosion. Recurrent candidal glans inflammation can cause local dryness, fibrosis and other changes. The disease is generally treated with topical antifungal ointments, and oral antifungal drugs can also be used in severe cases.
