Patient's question:
My kidneys have never been good, so now it seems like there's a layer of film on my glans. It might be due to my excessive foreskin, and my private area has always been very dirty. As a result, I soon developed balanitis. Can ketoconazole treat balanitis? Now my glans is very uncomfortable, and my wife has been urging me.Doctor's answer:
The condition of balanitis in patients is commonly caused by bacterial infections. However, the medication you mentioned, ketoconazole, is generally used to treat fungal infections. Therefore, we cannot confirm whether it will achieve the desired therapeutic effect at this time. If necessary, patients should visit a formal hospital's urology department for a thorough examination and follow the doctor's advice for treatment. The underlying causes may be related to factors such as phimosis (excessive foreskin) or poor personal hygiene. In addition to promptly treating balanitis, patients should maintain a positive mindset to face the disease. Only in this way can their immunity be strengthened and their belief in combating the illness be enhanced.
