Patient's question:
The living environment is very poor, with severe water quality issues. I often used contaminated water to clean my glans, which allowed bacteria to attach to it, eventually leading to very frustrating inflammation. I developed candidal balanitis. What medication should I use to treat it? Will my future life be affected?Doctor's answer:
If there is a recurrence of fungal balanitis, it will again present with clinical symptoms of redness, swelling, and pain on the glans, along with excessive discharge. If the diagnosis is confirmed as a fungal infection, topical antifungal medication can be used for treatment. It is recommended that both partners receive treatment simultaneously, as this will help the condition gradually improve and prevent recurrence. The disease should also be avoided from recurring repeatedly, as this may lead to complications. Medication should be used under the guidance of a local doctor.
