Patient's question:
I have been feeling unwell for the past few weeks. I often experience a red, itchy, and painful scrotum. The pain intensifies after washing with soap and water. Later, upon careful examination, I discovered it was fungal balanitis. I am very anxious. How can fungal balanitis be completely cured?Doctor's answer:
Candidal balanitis must be treated by both "couples" or both male and female partners. If a man has candidal balanitis, he can be prescribed a 3% sodium bicarbonate solution and a 3% miconazole ointment.3%,,,,10. If no external lesions are found, fluconazole 0.15 grams can be given as a single dose to completely eliminate hidden fungi in the genital area. This medication affects liver enzymes, so it should be used with caution in individuals with abnormal liver function. This requires consultation with a dermatologist.
