What are the symptoms of Candida albicans in men?

Men are also a group that is susceptible to streptococcal infection. Therefore, both men and women need to pay special attention to the prevention of this bacteria. In order to ensure reproductive health, everyone needs to pay special attention. If men are infected with Candida albicans, they usually have the following clinical manifestations. I hope male friends can pay attention to observe and understand them comprehensively.

Common clinical manifestations of Candida infection in men include the following:

1. Acute superficial balanoposthitis, characterized by redness and swelling of the penis skin, erosion of the foreskin and glans, exudation, and even bleeding.

2. Annular ulcerated balanitis, characterized by erythema on the glans and foreskin, in the shape of a ring, forming a superficial ulcer surface.

3. Candida albicans balanitis, manifested by erythema on the glans foreskin, smooth surface, and rashes. In acute attacks, there are erosions and exudates.

4. Trichomonas balanoposthitis, characterized by papules and erythema on the glans, with small blisters visible in the erythema, forming an erosive surface.

From the perspective of Western medicine, the main principle of treating male candida infection is to reduce inflammation and kill bacteria. For superficial, annular ulcerative inflammation, erythromycin and tetracycline antibiotics are often used; for trichomonal inflammation, the first choice is chloramphenicol; for albicans candida inflammation, trichostatin or itraconazole is often used for treatment. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, there are mainly several types of candida infection, including toxic fire stagnation type, damp heat worm type, and liver and kidney yin deficiency type. Toxic fire stagnation type is often treated with Yichidan; damp heat worm type is often treated with Longdan Xiegan Decoction; liver and kidney yin deficiency type is often treated with Liuwei Dihuang Decoction.

The above are several clinical manifestations of Candida infection in men. I hope that through these clinical manifestations, everyone can pay more attention to it. At the same time, in daily life, we must do a good job of prevention and health and care of the reproductive parts. At the same time, we should also pay attention to keeping ourselves clean and avoid unclean sexual behavior.
