Patient's question:
First use povidone-iodine for sterilization, then apply clotrimazole cream to the affected area. Will there be any side effects when using these two medications together?Doctor's answer:
If the diagnosis indicates balanitis, you can use the aforementioned medications. My advice is to maintain good sexual habits, wear condoms during sexual activity to prevent cross-infection, change underwear frequently, and use high-temperature sterilization. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect your overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely and appropriate treatment, and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life while avoiding prolonged sitting.
