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 balanoposthitis and annular purulent balanoposthitis, erythromycin is a must, taken four times daily. For trichomoniasis balanoposthitis, metronidazole is the preferred treatment, taken three times daily, alternating for 10 days. For Candida balanoposthitis, griseofulvin or itraconazole is commonly used. Men should also frequently clean between their legs to maintain local hygiene and prevent irritation.In addition, during the treatment of balanoposthitis, apart from symptomatic treatment, the patient's dietary condition and mental state are also very important. It is essential to avoid excessive mental stress and worry to prevent unnecessary impacts on the complete recovery of balanoposthitis.
