Patient's question:
I usually have the habit of masturbation. Recently, I noticed some small bumps on my glans, and the symptoms seem to be similar to balanitis. Is it serious? Will it cause any problems? Please ask: What are the best methods to treat balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Candidal balanitis is a symptom caused by infection with Candida albicans. It is recommended to take fluconazole capsules, apply topical antifungal creams such as clotrimazole, and clean the glans and foreskin with physiological saline or a 0.1% rivanol solution to thoroughly remove dirt. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly according to their symptoms and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
