Patient's question:
I am a 33-year-old male and have been experiencing discomfort in my body, so I haven't sought medical attention yet. Could you please advise on how to treat balanitis effectively?Doctor's answer:
Western medicine treatment: If the disease is detected, appropriate use of antibiotics is also necessary, and it often heals on its own within a few days. If it is more severe, effective treatment under the guidance of a doctor is required. Antibiotics are suitable for cases with secondary infections. Antifungal drugs are suitable for candidal balanitis. Corticosteroids are suitable for annular erosive balanitis. Additionally, during treatment, patients need to maintain a balanced diet, follow a regular schedule, actively participate in physical exercise, regulate physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
