Patient's question:
I carefully checked for balanitis and found it had contaminants and mold. Prostatitis was also detected. Can these two conditions be treated simultaneously? How should it be treated? There are red spots on the glans, which are more noticeable during erection. I was prescribed erythromycin ointment, but it doesn't work at all. They didn't give me any oral medication, just told me to treat the prostatitis first and then consider circumcision. Oh... I'm seeking advice from a doctor. After a thorough check, I started taking medication. Previously, I had no symptoms of prostatitis, but recently I've started experiencing acid pain. I checked for balanitis and found contaminants and mold. 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 the treatment period. Men should also frequently clean between their legs and maintain local hygiene to prevent irritation. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take oral medication promptly and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life to avoid prolonged sitting.
