    Candida albicans, also known as Candida albicans, is a relatively common pathogenic bacteria that usually hides in the oral cavity, upper respiratory tract and reproductive system. When the body is healthy, it will not cause disease. If the body's immunity is low, it may cause infection. What are the symptoms of Candida albicans infection in men?

    Men with Candida albicans infection mostly occur in the armpits, under the breasts, groin, perianal area, gluteal groove and other places. They are also prone to Candida albicans infection. When the infection is severe, it can also spread to the body of the penis, scrotum, inner thighs and other parts.

    When a man is infected with Candida albicans, the symptoms will be more obvious. Generally, the patient will feel itching of the penis, and the penis, foreskin and glans will be slightly flushed, dry and smooth. White cheese-like patches often appear on the inner plate of the foreskin and the coronal sulcus of the glans penis.

    If a man suffers from candida balanitis, not only will there be flushing symptoms on the glans penis, but also some inflammatory papules will appear. The symptoms are mild in the early stages of the disease, so they are easily ignored by patients. As the condition worsens, patients will feel pain. When Candida albicans infection occurs, it should be treated promptly and sexual intercourse should be avoided to avoid further spread of the disease.
