Can you tell me what it could be that every time we have sex he have a burning sensation ?. Thank you
Hi, Your boyfriend seems to have candida balanoposthitis. There may be redness on glans with burning sensation for after intercourse. The disease is caused by Candida albicans and spread by sexual contact. You and your boyfriend should take antifungal therapy. I advise in my patients antifungal like ketoconazole or itraconazole orally for two weeks. Application of clotrimazole may improve the disease. Washing the area with antiseptic like detail in water may enhance the improvement. I hope you got my answer. Thanks. Chat Doctor.
