Patient's question:
Doctor, I am 41 years old this year, male. I have been experiencing unbearable signs of lower body itching recently. It turns out that I have a male disease again, which is balanitis. I would like to ask if balanitis is infectious?Doctor's answer:
This generally leads to cross-infection, so it is temporarily recommended to avoid sexual activity. It is advised to visit the hospital promptly to have secretions cultured for examination. If a fungal infection is diagnosed, it is still possible to use medications like clotrimazole for treatment. In the coming days, it is recommended to avoid sexual activity to prevent transmission and alleviate the condition. Pay attention to keeping underwear exposed to sunlight for drying. Wishing you a speedy recovery and good health.
