What Is The Cause And Treatment For Fungal Infection On Penis?
Question: Had unprotected sex with a girl three times over three months. Last time being XXXXXXX 14. Tested negative for gonorrhoea and chlamydia, on July 9. On July 28 took in a urine sample for urinalysis and urine culture everything came back normal. Did have some red shiny foreskin just below penis head and smelly when initially pull back foreskin... The redness seems to have gone but seems it stills smells . The skin around urethra opening at tip of penis ( meatus) seems puffy and irritated sometimes but no burning pee, no discharge. Have some pelvic pain, some pain at base of penis and internal hemmorhoids. Sometimes It feels like my urethra is opening and letting something by or drip out but there nothing there feels like a spasm the feeling is near the end of penis. Could this be a stricture?

Brief Answer:
Fungal infection: Take full course of anti-fungals
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to the forum and thanks for follow up.
I have gone through all your pictures and after analyzing all the pictures I can make out fungal infection of the area known as candidal balanoposthitis.
It is not to be worried as one of the commonest problem which all men can get. It might be due to personal hygiene as well as by infection from the female partner. I suggest that both you and your wife should take a proper course of antifungals both orally and applications or suppositories or ovules in your wife.
Meet your primary care physician to get proper course of antifungal therapy. Avoid intercourse for some time and even masturbation too. Do not try to touch the area as can lead to more cuts and further aggravation.
Take full course of anti-fungals so that to avoid recurrence.
I hope these informations will help you.
Take care.

I talked to the girl that I had the encounter with and she said she was clean...... She told me that she just had a Pap test, I said to her that I thought Pap test where only for cervix cancer, and she told me they check for stds too. She said her pap came back normal. Do I believe her. She also told me she just had a pre - op and said everything is fine. Should I rely on this. She was offended that I asked. The only thing I worry about is trichomonaisis. What do I do? What do think my pelvic pain is from? And the pain at the base of my penis?
Brief Answer:
Should believe in other person.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome again to the forum and thanks for your follow up.
First and foremost I must be straightforward to tell you tha you shouldn't be paranoid about trichomoniasis.
It is not the sole cause of pain abdomen. If at all there is still some worry about trichomoniasis then can be treated completely by metronidazole.
You should believe the girl as anyone who is clear and asked for the status feels offended and is a natural normal phenomenon. If I were at your place then would have certainly believed the girl. Pap testing is the common mode of detecting many a things simultaneously. A pre operative blood check is routinely done to see for any major or minor infection.
so try and relax and believe the girl. If at all there is worry for trichomoniasis then can be well treated by metronidazole.
Simultaneously proper antifungal treatment is required.
I hope these informations will relax your mind. I will be glad to answer any further queries.
With regards,
Dr Sanjay

Wouldn't trichomonaisis have discharge? I just have a lot of guilt! The nurses at the health clinic have assured me that my test for gonorhea and chlamydia r accurate. My urinalysis and urine culture should be right. No burning when I urinate, no discharge so I hope I'm good!
Brief Answer:
A preoperative ELISA for HIV and VDRL for syphilis
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
welcome again.
You should not have guilt. it is a normal natural process to have such kind of incidences in life. Do not be so much tensed. It is quite usual to find such kind of feeling and with time you will be alright.
Trichomoniasis may or may not have discharge and for males we consider to be one of the most simple STD. Though you do not have anything related to trichomonas but even if you are worried then can take a course of metronidazole for the same under doctor's guidance.
Your treating nurses are quite right in their suggestions.
A pre-operative check up essentially done with all tests of routine along with ELISA for HIV and VDRL for syphilis. We always check the report to see for any infection. So the other girl is correct in her words. Do believe her.
Presently you have only fungal infection and get a proper treatment for you and your wife.
