At present, many male friends suffer from symptoms of candidal balanitis. What is going on? I believe that many male friends who suffer from such symptoms want to know the reason and what is going on. This disease is more serious for male friends and is extremely harmful to the body. Because the reproductive organs are the most important parts of male friends, once they suffer from any fungal infection, they will experience symptoms of physical discomfort. Let us introduce what is candidal balanitis.

Balanoposthitis is a diffuse inflammation of the foreskin and glans penis, which can be caused by infectious or non-infectious factors. Infectious factors are more common in clinical practice, often caused by fungal or bacterial infection under the foreskin.

Balanitis can be divided into balanitis and glansitis. Balanitis refers to inflammation of the foreskin and its mucous membrane, while glansitis refers to inflammation of the mucous membrane of the glans penis. Since the two often occur at the same time, it is called balanitis. Balanitis, except for local symptoms, is usually harmless and has no direct relationship with sexual dysfunction or male infertility. In rare cases, it can cause urinary tract infection.

Candidal balanoposthitis is a common type of balanoposthitis, which occurs in young people between the ages of 20 and 50. It is caused by infection with Candida albicans, mainly in the glans penis.

Candida balanoposthitis is a fungal disease caused by Candida (mainly Candida albicans), which mainly occurs in the glans. Candida is one of the normal parasitic bacteria in the human body and is a conditional pathogen. Under normal circumstances, it can parasitize the human body for a long time (mainly in the mouth, vagina, skin, etc.) without causing disease. When the body's resistance decreases or the local environment changes, causing Candida to grow and transform into budding yeast (pseudohyphae) and hyphae, the pathogenicity increases.

This disease can be transmitted by sexual contact or non-sexual contact, and can be primary or secondary. Secondary candidal balanitis occurs after diabetes, wasting diseases of the elderly, long-term use of corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, and abuse of a variety of broad-spectrum antibiotics. Prepuce is too long or poor hygiene and local moisture are the causes of Candida reproduction and disease.

If it is not treated and the condition is delayed, it will definitely cause other diseases. Therefore, patients with this disease need to be treated immediately. Otherwise, it will affect their study, life and work.
