What medications should be used to treat fungal balanitis?

Patient's question:

I have developed fungal balanitis, and my glans is a bit itchy. What medication should I use to treat it?

Doctor's answer:

Pay attention to personal hygiene, medication treatment is relatively effective. If it is fungal balanitis, it is best to use sodium bicarbonate injection to dissolve and then apply to the glans and the entire genital area. Fungal balanitis can be transmitted through sexual activity. Therefore, during treatment, sexual activity must be strictly prohibited, and sexual partners should also be treated concurrently. You can apply Lincosoft cream or Clotrimazole cream. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce recurrence. If it is not treated in a timely manner, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should receive medication treatment promptly and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
