Patient's question:
Doctor, hello! I have had balanitis for about 10 years. But it hasn't been completely cured. Using medication intermittently hasn't been able to it either. This condition has been troubling me, so I want to consult about what kind of assistance is needed: What medication is effective for balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the causes of balanitis are varied, and the treatments differ. It is initially believed to be related to fungal infections, so it is important to avoid excessive scratching. Eating more foods rich in B vitamins is generally effective, and topical creams can also be used. Sporanox or ketoconazole can be taken orally. Please follow your doctor's advice regarding dosage. Balanitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is crucial to seek treatment at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on the results of thorough examinations. Additionally, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity are important. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
