Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I am a patient with candidal balanitis. I was only diagnosed with this condition today, so I would like to ask you, how should I treat candidal balanitis? Do you have any suggestions or methods?Doctor's answer:
First of all, this type of bead-like balanitis is generally mainly caused by fungal infections. For example, not paying attention to hygiene during sexual activity, or the female partner having some vaginal inflammation. Usually, when it comes to treatment, it mainly involves using some specialized medications. For instance, metronidazole lotion, or povidone-iodine solution. At the same time, attention should also be paid to hygiene. Balanitis can be relieved, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medications should be used according to the symptoms. Additionally, patients should avoid sitting or riding for long periods and pay more attention to personal hygiene. We hope male patients can recover as soon as possible!
