I became extremely anxious one night about my thoughts of having contracted HIV. Within 48 hours, diarrhoea set in and I actually saw white coloured stuff in the stool. There was also fungal growth on the tip of my penis. Can anxiety lead to fungal growth ? Have any of you experienced this thing before ? This continued for around 4-5 days before I calmed down. I also met a doctor who gave clotrimazole cream for application around the glans penis. The fungal growth on the penis and diarrhoea then disappeared.
My question is this - Can anxiety lead to a sudden fungal growth in the gut like that ?
