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 smell is especially unpleasant, and there's yellow discharge from my glans. Is this balanitis? Please ask: How can balanitis be treated to get betterDoctor's answer:
Treatment is primarily based on topical antifungal medications. Depending on the situation, you may choose to apply Terbinafine Cream or Miconazole Nitrate 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, consult a doctor. Balanitis can be cured, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after recovery. Therefore, during treatment, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and not smoke or drink beer. We hope male patients can recover as soon as possible!
