Patient's question:
I've been feeling uncomfortable down there for a while. It's both painful and itchy, and my glans seems particularly red and a bit swollen. The odor is especially unpleasant, and there's also yellow discharge from my glans. Is this likely balanitis? Please ask: Should balanitis be treated well?Doctor's answer:
Phimosis is more commonly caused by fungi and is relatively easy to treat. Sensitive medications such as fluconazole and levofloxacin can be taken orally, and they can be combined with topical application of fluconazole cream for faster results. Pay attention to hygiene of the genital area and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication that suits their symptoms and maintain a regular sex life while avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
