Patient's question:
I went to the hospital for my balanitis and the doctor prescribed Triamcinolone Acetonide Ekonate Cream. I saw in the instructions that it shouldn't be used for a long time. How long can it be applied to the head of the penis? Can it be used for 2 weeks?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, for conditions like balanoposthitis, treatment requires a sufficient amount of time to prevent recurrence. Recommendations: Pay attention to personal hygiene, change underwear and pants frequently, maintain cleanliness and dryness in the groin area, and clean the glans daily. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and maintain a regular lifestyle in daily life, avoiding prolonged sitting.
