Patient's question:
My balanitis has been going on for almost a year, and I've been experiencing some itching recently. There were periods when it felt better, but I've visited several hospitals for thorough examinations, and the doctors all said everything was fine. I've also tried medication, but the results haven't been ideal. My condition is quite similar to what you described, such as "Candidal balanitis is characterized by erythema on the glans, a smooth surface with small vesicles, clear margins, and purulent discharge during acute recurrence; Trichomoniasis balanitis starts with papules and erythema on the glans, gradually expanding with clear margins, small vesicles the size of needles on the erythema, eventually forming an eroded surface." What should I do?Doctor's answer:
It has been almost a year since I have had balanitis, and recently there has been itching. This condition can be treated with ciprofloxacin or levofloxacin. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, drink more hot water to help alleviate symptoms, eat more light meals, and pay attention to personal hygiene. The condition of balanitis is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to go to a professional and reputable hospital for diagnosis immediately. Treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Additionally, it is important to control sexual activity and maintain a good mood.
