I'm really worried about how frequently I've been masturbating and if that's a reason I ended up with candidal balanoposthitis. Do you think cutting back on masturbation could help fix this problem?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Masturbation itself is unlikely to directly cause candidal balanoposthitis. However, excessive masturbation can contribute to the development of this condition indirectly:
Friction and irritation: Frequent masturbation can cause friction, leading to irritation and micro-tears in the skin. This can create an environment conducive to Candida overgrowth.
Moisture accumulation: Masturbation can lead to increased moisture in the genital area, which can contribute to Candida growth.
Imbalanced skin pH: Frequent masturbation can disrupt the natural skin pH, creating an environment that fosters Candida growth.
Limiting masturbation may help alleviate some contributing factors, but it is unlikely to cure candidal balanoposthitis on its own. Treatment typically involves:
Antifungal medications: Topical or oral antifungals to address the Candida infection. Good genital hygiene: Keeping the area clean and dry. Avoiding irritants: Reducing friction and avoiding harsh soaps or products.

I've got these small itchy bumps in my pubic area that keep spreading and look really bad. They don't cause major issues besides the itching, but I'm worried about how they're multiplying. Could you recommend any creams or meds to make them fade or go away? I'd prefer not to do surgery right now.
Itchy, spreading bumps in the pubic area could be due to various reasons, ranging from simple skin irritations to infections. While you can try some over-the-counter treatments, it's best to consult a doctor for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan, especially if the bumps are spreading or cause significant discomfort.
