Patient's question:
Doctor, I am 35 years old this year. I have balanitis. I got some levofloxacin as 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 targeted medication. During treatment, patients should pay attention to personal hygiene, wear cotton underwear for better ventilation, and clean the external genital area every night using antibacterial and anti-inflammatory solutions. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, and do not consume alcohol. Wishing you good health.
