Patient's question:
My roommate recently got balanitis, and we're only eighteen years old, still young. Will this condition be contagious? Will it affect sexual function and impact our future lives? I'm planning to buy medicine for him. What medicine is most effective? Is ciclopiroxolamine ointment effective for treating balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Ciclopiroxolamine ointment can be used to treat balanitis, but balanitis is also classified into different types. Different types of balanitis are best treated with different ointments for better effectiveness. After cleaning the glans daily, apply the ointment evenly. Pay attention to maintaining hygiene of the genital area, and choose cotton underwear to prevent irritation to the glans. In addition to timely treatment of balanitis, patients also need to pay attention to care aspects, such as a light diet and regular outdoor activities. At the same time, patients should also choose a regular hospital for treatment to achieve good therapeutic effects.
