Patient's question:
What should I do if I have balanitis and itchy glans?Doctor's answer:
Considering it may be fungal balanitis, the initial treatment involves applying or scrubbing the affected area with a 0.1% solution of povidone-iodine, followed by using creams or ointments containing imidazole drugs. Oral administration of terbinafine is also effective. For severe systemic or visceral infections, combined internal and external treatment is recommended. Oral itraconazole or intravenous fluconazole can be used, supplemented with topical treatment such as Daktarin. The condition of balanitis itching tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to actively seek treatment at professional and reputable hospitals, and treatment should be considered based on examination results. Additionally, it is advisable to quit smoking and drinking, maintain good personal hygiene, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
