Patient's question:
I felt itchy on my glans a couple of days ago. Besides some peeling, it was very painful. I couldn't take it anymore and went to the hospital. The doctor diagnosed it as candidal balanitis caused by a fungal virus. I'm currently taking medication. I'm very afraid it won't be cured. Can candidal balanitis be cured?Doctor's answer:
Phimosis is caused by a fungal infection and is curable. It is recommended to pay attention to hygiene. Underwear should be cleaned and disinfected promptly. Use disinfectant to wipe the glans, and apply topical antifungal cream for treatment. Avoid spicy, greasy, and overly stimulating foods to prevent inflammation from worsening and causing discomfort. Phimosis patients can use folk remedies as supplementary treatment while understanding the principle of treating symptoms. It is essential to avoid extreme hunger or overeating in daily diet and never binge eat.
