Patient's question:
Today I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor told me it was fungal balanitis and prescribed me a compound ketoconazole cream and mupirocin cream. I'd like to ask how effective these two medications are.Doctor's answer:
Mupirocin ointment can be tried. Nystatin can also kill fungi, and saline or potassium permanganate can be used for treatment. Maintain good hygiene in the genital area at all times, change underwear frequently, avoid spicy and greasy foods, do not have sexual intercourse, and avoid spicy foods. Balanitis can be stabilized, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, use medication appropriately, and patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay more attention to personal hygiene.
