Patient's question:
I noticed that my glans seems to have some blisters, red and swollen. The hospital examination said it was balanitis. I didn't do much, but how did I get this disease? Please ask: How is balanitis treated most effectively?Doctor's answer:
Hello; Your condition is recommended to identify the cause and treat accordingly.1. For the treatment of acute superficial balanitis and annular purulent balanitis, erythromycin and tetracycline are the first-line medications.
2. For the treatment of trichomoniasis balanitis, metronidazole is the first-line medication.
3. For balanitis caused by Candida albicans, it is commonly treated with griseofulvin or itraconazole.
Wishing you good health. Balanitis can be relieved, but the treatment period is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, medications must be used symptomatically during treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid spicy foods, and refrain from smoking and drinking beer. We hope male patients can recover quickly.
