Patient's question:
Lower body odor is very severe, and the glans is red, swollen, and itchy, with a fishy odor. How should male candidal balanitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
Males with candidal balanitis, primarily characterized by external genital itching, are advised to take fluconazole orally, wash the external genital area with a 2% baking soda solution, and apply Pramesin ointment or nystatin ointment externally. Both partners must be treated simultaneously, and sexual activity should be avoided during the treatment period.
