Patient's question:
What medication should be taken to treat balanitis and balanoposthitis? I have seen several doctors and tried several medications, but none have been effective.Doctor's answer:
Balanoposthitis can be caused by sexual activity and excessive foreskin. It can be transmitted by Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Escherichia coli, Candida albicans, Trichomonas, Chlamydia, Mycoplasma, fungi, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, or other bacteria. You can flip the foreskin up daily, use some cleaning solutions, and clean the foreskin cavity every day. Systemic medication is also necessary. If the balanoposthitis is caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection, oral cephalosporin drugs should be taken for treatment. The condition of balanoposthitis is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is necessary to seek medical attention immediately at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Additionally, it is important to restrict sexual activity and maintain a good mood.
