Patient's question:
5 years of fungal balanitis, pain at the front of the glans, had never seen a doctor or used medication before. In the past two months, I went to the hospital and was prescribed (nitazoxamide cream) to use for two months. The itching symptoms have reduced, but it will not be fully cured except for the itching. Why can't the doctor fully cure it? Is it because the medication is not good? If there is a better medication, can it be fully cured? How can it be fully cured?Doctor's answer:
It should be related to infection and unclean sexual life. It should be treated with anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory measures, and anti-viral solutions. Oral Ribavirin Granules and topical Acyclovir Cream can be used. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, and wear loose cotton underwear more often. Balanitis can be relieved, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recur after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, use medication appropriately, and avoid sitting or riding for long periods. Pay attention to personal hygiene.
