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.

View allI've noticed that some parts of my head grow hair really slowly while other areas seem fine. It's a bit strange because the hair seems to be growing at different rates, and Ive experienced a lot of hair fall over the past year. I'm also seeing less hair at the front. Could you tell me what might be causing this and what I could do about it?

I'm currently using the mx 10 topical solution for my hair, and I'm wondering which hair oil would be best to use alongside it. Could you please guide me on what might work well together or if there are any oils I should avoid? I'm a bit concerned about making the right choice.
You can use a gentle, non-comedogenic hair oil like coconut oil, jojoba oil, or argan oil with MX-10 topical solution, but apply the oil at least 30 minutes after using MX-10 to avoid any potential interactions.

I'm really worried about the hair loss I'm experiencing, especially since it's getting thinner and falling out more at the sides of my forehead and the center of my head. A local dermatologist recommended I try using Fultress F solution, but now I'm confused about whether to choose the Fultress F 10 or 5 solution. Can you help me figure out which one might be better for my situation?
