Noticed Itching In Penis And White Discharge After Sex. Applied Coconut Oil. Cure?

Hello Doc
I am married for 10 years and recently 2-3 weeks back visited to USA. I had some itching sensation in my penis when I was in USA. I did not have any sex outside.
After coming back from USA and having sex with my wife, both of us are having ITCHING SENSATION and WHITE CREAMY DISCHARGE (with bad smell).. We applied coconut oil which helps to reduce the itching sensation, but it is not cured completely (white cream and itching starts again in 2-3 days). We have been hoping that it will be cured within 1-2 weeks but it has not.

Please advise.

Hi,
It seems that you might be having yeast infection and now it is spread to your wife after sexual contact.
Both partners should take treatment.
Apply anti-fungal cream locally.
Take oral anti-fungal tablet like Flucanozole 150 mg once in a week for 4 weeks.
Keep local part clean, dry and airy.
Ok and take cvare.

Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
It seems that you are suffering from yeast infection. This can be confirmed with some investigations.
Certain conditions will precipitate this infection.
Diabetes mallitus, prolonged antibiotics, immuno-suppressible drugs, oral contraceptives, other hormonal diseases and treatment, pregnancy of your wife are some.
Look for those and if possible try to eliminate the same.
Both of you have to take treatment simultaneously for 3-4 weeks with anti-fungal antibiotic tablets, creams and vaginal tablets. Abstinence during this duration is a must.
Wish you a speedy recovery.
Dr. S.Murugan
