Patient's question:
I have developed candidal balanitis, and the doctor prescribed Nystatin vaginal cream. My wife also got it. Could you please advise on how we can treat it together as a couple? Thank youDoctor's answer:
You can apply Yifuqing ointment locally, twice a day. First, wash the area before applying the medication. Generally, it takes about a week to heal. It has excellent antifungal effects, with a treatment course of 2-4 weeks. For treating fungal infections of the genital organs, both partners should be treated, and sexual activity should be avoided during treatment. Men should also frequently clean between their legs to maintain local hygiene and prevent irritation. In addition to treating balanitis, patients are advised to pay attention to their diet and maintain a cheerful mood in daily life to enhance their constitution and slow down the healing process.
