Patient's question:
On September 1st, there was unprotected sexual intercourse. On October 12th, I had a thorough examination at Hospital for fungal balanitis and underwent a circumcision surgery. So far, I have been using Jieryin ointment for topical application, and now there is no discomfort, but there are still some red spots and patches, which have become harder. Please give me some good advice. Up to now, I have used two bottles of Jieryin, and the Ketoconazole cream is applied twice a day. How can I get rid of the red spots? Besides, there is a slight pain on the right side of the base of my penis. Could it be a urinary tract infection?Doctor's answer:
Candidal balanitis, this is not a problem. Based on the situation you described, if the foreskin surgery has already been performed, it will naturally and completely recover in the future. There is no need to worry excessively, and you can use povidone-iodine for sterilization during daily life. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If it is not treated promptly, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take oral medication in a timely manner and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
