Suggest Treatment For Yeast Infection In The Penis
I am Diabitic. Last 2 weeks, I am suffering from Yeast infection on penis. There is white thin layer below foreskin and skin has become redish. I am getting burning sensation while having sex and while passing urine. I spoke to my doctor yesterday. He has recommended Fungiderm or Cansten ointment and Syscan 150 mg tablets (2 per day for first 5 days and 1 for next 5 days). I would like to get second opinion.
Yeast infections can be expected and are common in individuals who have been diagnosed with diabetes, and especially in those who have uncontrolled blood sugar levels. The medications prescribed should do the job, so make sure you take them religiously and also try and keep the region dry and clean at all times. Make sure you avoid sexual contact and masturbation for at least the next 3-4 weeks.
Best wishes.
