Patient's question:
My husband has recently been experiencing discomfort in his lower body and was diagnosed with an illness after a hospital examination. Seeing him often in pain makes me very worried. Could you please ask the doctor what are the good treatments for patients with itchy glans?Doctor's answer:
Your condition should be balanitis. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a smear test to check whether it is caused by fungi or bacteria. Then, treatment can be administered based on the specific situation. If it is fungal, it is advised to apply topical antifungal medication such as Terbinafine. If it is bacterial, apply topical erythromycin cream and take oral antibiotics like Azithromycin. The condition of balanitis itching tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to actively seek treatment at professional and reputable hospitals, and treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking and drinking, pay attention to personal hygiene, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
