Patient's question:
Doctor, my glans has been itchy recently, sometimes swollen and red. After examination, I was diagnosed with balanitis. How should I treat balanitis well?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a smear test to check whether it is caused by fungi or bacteria. If it is fungal, it is suggested to apply topical antifungal medication such as miconazole cream. If it is bacterial, apply erythromycin cream topically and take azithromycin orally for treatment. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence. If not treated in a timely manner, it may affect your overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely and symptomatic treatment, and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life to avoid prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
