Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling itchy on my glans, with some small red bumps appearing on the glans and foreskin. They are, and I also have frequent urination and urgency. There's residual urine in the foreskin, and the smell is unpleasant. What medicine should I take?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to clean the glans with baking soda solution, then apply miconazole cream for treatment. Avoid sexual activity, which will help alleviate the condition and infection for your partner. If symptoms of urethral irritation reappear, you can take nystatin 1 million units orally three times a day, or fluconazole 400mg daily for five consecutive days. Balanitis can be relieved, but the treatment process is generally slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with your doctor's treatment plan, use medication appropriately, and also adopt good lifestyle habits and a balanced diet during the treatment period.
