Patient's question:
Hello! I noticed patches on my glans with different colors, and there's a white substance around the edge of the glans that won't come off even after washing. Is this a sign of balanitis? If it is balanitis, could you please advise on the best treatment for it?Doctor's answer:
Candidal balanitis, a common male genital disorder caused by infection with Candida albicans, is characterized by inflammation of the glans penis and foreskin.1. Cleanse the glans penis and foreskin with physiological saline solution to thoroughly remove dirt.
2. Soak the foreskin and glans penis in a 2% sodium bicarbonate solution. Apply an antifungal ointment.
Balanitis can be cured, but the treatment duration is usually long, and relapse is common after recovery. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, use medications appropriately, and maintain a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet during the treatment period. We hope male patients can recover as soon as possible!
