Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. I have developed candidal balanitis. Can I stop taking medication after one month of treatment? I don't have any itching now, and I feel that everything is the same as before I had candidal balanitis. Is it okay to stop medication under these circumstances?Doctor's answer:
I have candidal balanitis, and I have been taking medication for a month. It is also okay to stop the medication now. Rest more in your daily life, don't overwork, and ensure you get enough deep sleep. Pay attention to hygiene, clean frequently to prevent infection. If you have phimosis, you can consider a circumcision surgery for a more thorough solution. Avoid spicy foods like chili peppers and foods that cause stomach upset. In addition to promptly treating the balanitis, friends with the condition should maintain a positive mindset to face the disease. Only in this way can patients receive timely and appropriate treatment. At the same time, they should pay close attention to their dietary care, focusing on light foods and avoiding irritating and cold foods, believing that this will surely drive away the balanitis.
