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, how is balanitis usually treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Treatment is primarily based on the use of topical antifungal medications. Depending on the situation, you may apply Terbinafine Cream (Lameisyu) or Miconazole Nitrate Cream (Dakning) externally twice a day. First, wash the area thoroughly, then use a cotton swab to apply a thin layer. Continue this for 1 to 2 weeks. If necessary, consult a doctor. Balanitis can be relieved, but the treatment period is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and not smoke or drink beer. We hope male patients can recover as soon as possible!
