Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with balanitis. I don't know much about this disease and would like to consult about how to treat balanitis.Doctor's answer:
Treatment is based on the use of topical antifungal medications. You may optionally apply Terbinafine cream or Miconazole cream 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, see a doctor. The condition of balanitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek treatment at a professional and reputable hospital immediately. Treatment should be considered based on the results of a thorough examination. Additionally, maintain a proper diet, avoid sexual activity, and wish all patients a speedy recovery.
