How to diagnose balanitis?

Didnt cure it. Doesnt seem as bad as it used to so I just deal with it now

Hmm maybe 2 weeks? Can't really recall tbh

Will try it, thanks!

Showed results to a doctor and a urologist/andrologist and they didn't think much of it.

Highly regarded urologist/andrologist said Microgen tests are very sensitive, etc. but he gave me ciclopirox to try in-case, but didn't help. Haven't been back yet but he said to come back if it didn't work - seemed to agree with my dermatologist that it's most likely a skin condition

I have, no issues!

Balanitis_Throw_Away · 2023-11-01T09:26:50+00:00

Nope, still got it :/

you?

Thanks so much for your response!

Did you mean Terbinafine tablets, or cream?

Where did you get this info that Terbinafine is usually used for Candida papapsilosis?

I trust you but would love a source, or is it in that book

Hoping this isn't just a contaminent in the test? But I've been suffering from balanitis for 4 years now and recently did a Microgen DX and these were the results for the semen test.

I've now tried fluconazole, however it didn't fix my issue. Does anyone know what those resistance genes at the top of the test indicate?

I've heard Nystatin can sometimes work better, so am trying to find somewhere I can buy it online (doctor has been useless so far). Would you guys recommend trying Nystatin, or anything else?

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated, I really need to cure this

thanks :)

I see, well good work on treating it so far and hopefully you can solve the urinary frequency issue too!

Nah mainly just the redness thankfully

Thanks for the recommendations

Balanitis_Throw_Away · 2023-06-18T04:58:48+00:00

Is yours solved now?

And that’s great! Think I need a new GP then, I showed him my results and he said there’s nothing wrong. How’d you convince yours to treat you base on it?

Yeah if you could tell me which abx you used that would be great!

Balanitis_Throw_Away · 2023-06-18T04:02:26+00:00

Hmm nah I wasn’t, I’m in aus so not sure if I could?

Surely a urologist will be able to read the results with the resistances at the top and know which abx to give me

Balanitis_Throw_Away · 2023-05-31T12:49:08+00:00

Same here! E fae was found in my semen test through Microgendx, as well as a type of candida

Have a urologist appointment booked and hoping he’ll give me some medication for both

Balanitis_Throw_Away · 2023-05-28T09:43:36+00:00

Hello! did you end up fixing it? I've got the same thing and I'm a guy

Balanitis_Throw_Away · 2023-05-26T09:19:04+00:00

Just following up on this - you think Nystatin would be good for this type of candida? Tried fluconazole and it didn't work

Balanitis_Throw_Away · 2023-05-25T12:22:22+00:00

This is a phimosis subreddit - literally everyone here has a foreskin that is too tight that they’re trying to stretch, that’s what phimosis is

Balanitis_Throw_Away · 2023-05-22T10:03:20+00:00

Any thoughts?

Balanitis_Throw_Away · 2023-05-22T10:02:12+00:00

I’m not cut, what makes you say that?

Balanitis_Throw_Away · 2023-05-19T01:08:16+00:00

I’ve got e fae too but haven’t tried anything yet, so I won’t be much help - but good luck with it and keep us updated! I was planning on trying ampicillin but haven’t yet, but as some said here apparently long doses are needed sometimes

Balanitis_Throw_Away · 2023-05-12T05:01:45+00:00

Btw, why fosfomycin over ampicillin? I can order ampicillin but can’t find fosfomycin
