Patient's question:
Doctor, I am 35 years old this year, I have balanitis, I got some levofloxacin recommended by my friend. They said levofloxacin is good for treating balanitis, so I want to ask you, doctor, can levofloxacin treat balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Levofloxacin is effective in treating bacterial balanitis. Patients with balanitis are recommended to undergo tests such as secretion culture to identify the pathogenic bacteria before starting symptomatic treatment. During the treatment period, patients should pay attention to personal hygiene, wear cotton underwear that allows for good ventilation, and perform daily cleaning of the external genital area using antiseptic and anti-inflammatory solutions. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, as well as alcohol, and wish you good health.
