Patient's question:
I carefully checked for balanitis and found it had contaminants and molds. Prostatitis was also present. Can these two conditions be treated simultaneously? How should it be treated? The glans has red spots, especially noticeable during erection. I was prescribed erythromycin ointment, but it's not working. I wasn't given any oral medication either. Instead, I was told to treat prostatitis first and then consider circumcision. Oh... I'm seeking advice from a doctor. After further examination, I was prescribed medication. Previously, I had no symptoms of prostatitis, but recently it has started to ache and hurt. I checked for balanitis and found contaminants and molds. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
You can apply Yifuqing ointment locally, twice a day. First, rinse with clean water and then apply the medication. Generally, it takes about a week to heal. It has excellent antifungal effects, with a treatment course of 2-4 weeks. For treating fungal infections of the reproductive organs, both partners should be treated simultaneously, and sexual activity should be avoided during treatment. Men should also frequently clean between their legs to maintain local hygiene and prevent irritation. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the recurrence. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take oral medication promptly and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life to avoid prolonged sitting.
