Patient's question:
I recently had a genital infection. A thorough examination revealed that it was caused by Candida, leading to balanitis. Hello, how can Candida balanitis be effectively treated?Doctor's answer:
For the treatment of acute superficial balanitis and annular purulent balanitis, erythromycin is a must, taken four times daily. For trichomoniasis balanitis, metronidazole is the preferred treatment, taken three times daily, alternating for 10 days. For balanitis caused by Candida albicans, it is common to use griseofulvin or itraconazole. Men should also frequently clean between their legs to maintain local hygiene and prevent irritation. In addition, during the treatment of balanitis, apart from symptomatic treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also very important. Patients must avoid excessive mental stress and worry to prevent unnecessary impacts on the complete recovery of balanitis.
