How should balanitis be treated?

Patient's question:

Vaginitis-transmitted balanitis, slight redness on the glans, slight itching, small red spots, can you use?

Doctor's answer:

This medication is quite effective in relieving itching caused by allergies, but it is not ideal for treating inflammation. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, quit smoking and drinking alcohol, and refrain from sexual activity in the near future. After sterilizing with povidone-iodine, apply the compound ketoconazole ointment. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely and symptomatic treatment, and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene.
