Patient's question:
I have had balanitis for a year. When I went to the hospital, they said it was nothing and told me to let it heal naturally. But after so long, it hasn't improved. There are some white, small papule-like things in the grooves of my glans, which I think might be trichomoniasis. They are particularly noticeable when I get erect. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Pay attention to hygiene at all times. It is better to use clean water for wiping, or go to a regular pharmacy to buy some anti-fungal cleaning solutions for thorough wiping. After wiping, you can apply some anti-fungal ointment. At the same time, it is important to maintain the hygiene of the foreskin and regularly clean the smegma inside the foreskin. For patients with fungal balanitis, it is necessary to change underwear frequently. After changing, pay attention to sterilizing them with hot water after wiping, and then expose them to sunlight to achieve thorough disinfection.
