Suggest Treatment For Yeast Infection And Phimosis While Having Diabetes
Question: I have been told I have type 2 diabetes. I am 55, weigh 308 lbs, but three years ago I was over 400lbs. Since I started losing weight I have had a tough problem with phimosis caused by loose skin in the public area, sexual function, and what I think is a recurring yeast infection or skin reaction to urine leakage. I think these things are all interrelated. I am starting to take GLIMEPIRIDE 4mg daily. Any advice on how I can end the phimosis and yeast infections? Very painful.
Brief Answer:
The only way to control yeast infection is by controlling Diabetes.
Detailed Answer:
Hi welcome to Health care magic,
The only way to control yeast infection is by controlling Diabetes. Are you monitoring Blood sugar regularly?
Use a multi fungal cream locally. If this does not work then a good tablet like Fluconazole 150 once a week for 8 weeks maybe required. Drink cleaner water and exercise regularly.
If Phimosis is due to the infection, it will also improve, otherwise a consultation with a surgeon is required.

How do I get Fluconozole 150? I have tried Cortizone 10 and Lotrimin Ultra for months now.
I do not have a healthcare physician and do not have insurance. So if these meds require a prescription, how do I get them?
