Hello doc, in past few days I am noticing that my foreskin is getting shrinking and having a very little itching problem on top of my foreskin. Someday ago everything was normal my foreskin could be easily pulled back over the top of my penis head. I had never have a phimosis problem. I used coconut oil for antifungal situation but but no good results. And then I tried the vegetables oil (sarso ka tel) and this morning I got a white liquid there so I am concerned about it. Please help me. I did a sexual intercourse without protection. Please tell me what should I have to do now. Doctor suggested me- "it may be fungal infection take tab. Fluconazole tab. Levokast apply daktarin gel 2 % locally after washing and drying the glans. And a tab fungisure for 10 days" but please tell the dose (in mg) for a day and at last when treatment goes end should I have to stop taking tablet immediately or I have to do it in a decreasing way like 1 tab. For 1 day and than 1/2 tab for next day 1/4 on next day and so on. Please help.
