Patient's question:
At this age, undergoing a thorough examination at the hospital revealed balanoposthitis, and I didn't know what to do. I took traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, but it hasn't improved at all, which is very frustrating. How should I handle balanoposthitis?Doctor's answer:
Allergy to medication-induced balanitis is a delayed-type allergic balanitis. Male candidal balanitis is often transmitted through close relatives suffering from candidal vaginitis or caused by penile itching and burning sensation. It may also present with redness of the glans and foreskin. Balanitis tends to recur easily, requiring long-term medication treatment based on examination results. Additionally, sexual activity should be restricted, and maintaining a positive mood is important.
