Patient's question:
The head of the penis has been a bit fiery lately, and there are some red spots, not very clear. Also, now ejaculation is very fast. How to treat balanitis and prevent it from recurring?Doctor's answer:
The basic principle of Western medicine treatment is anti-inflammatory and antibacterial. It is generally a combination of internal and external treatment. For the treatment of acute superficial balanitis and annular purulent balanitis, erythromycin and tetracycline are the first-line medications. For trichomoniasis balanitis, metronidazole is the preferred treatment. For Candida balanitis, itraconazole or griseofulvin is commonly used. For patients with balanitis, if left untreated in a timely manner, it can affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take oral medication promptly and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene.
