Patient's question:
When taking a shower at night, I noticed a white ring around the head of my penis, and the head of my penis seemed a bit wrinkled and red. Recently, I also found that I wasn't urinating smoothly. After checking at the hospital, they said it was balanitis. Please ask: How should I treat balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Treatment is primarily based on the use of topical antifungal medications. If appropriate, you may apply Terbinafine Hydrochloride Cream (Lameisyu) or Miconazole Nitrate Cream (Miconazole Nitrate) externally, twice a day. First, wash thoroughly, then use a cotton swab to apply a thin layer. Continue this for 1 to 2 weeks. If necessary, consult a doctor. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life, avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
