Hello, I am 60 years old. I have severe itching and burning problem in my fore- skin of my penis which will become intolerable sometimes that too during the night times. I am facing this problem since over 2 years. The skin looks like very normal and I do not have any rashes, boils or redness any thing on the affected area. I am also a diabetic and suffering from hypertension since ten years for which I am on regular medicine. I had consulted few doctors for my itching and burning problems like physicians, a urologist, a dermatologist, and also an internal medicines specialist in various hospitals like sagar, apollo and manipal hospitals. I had gone through few tests including test like psa. The results of all the tests were normal. The medicines prescribed and used are ointments like candid plain, candid gold, betnovate, neosporin etc. And an anti-biotic like linid 600 mg capsules. But the nothing could solve my problem. I am an orthodox brahmin and I never even think of any sexual relations other than my wife. My last sex was with my wife was about 2 years ago. Can any one suggest a good treatment from which I get rid off my problem?

Although physical examination is required but still I would answer. Excess sugar in the blood gets passed in the urine. However, yeast thrives on sugar and is more likely to grow on the penis of a man with diabetes. Symptoms of genital thrush include: redness, swelling, and itching around the head of the penis. Diabetes can make balanitis more likely, especially if the blood sugar is poorly controlled. High blood sugar causes elevated amounts of sugar in the urine. Sugar-rich urine that dribbles on to the glans and under the foreskin provides a friendly environment for yeast and bacteria. All the best!
