Patient's question:

I have developed candidal balanitis. My glans is red, swollen, and peeling, with severe itching. I also experience frequent and urgent urination, along with a stinging sensation during urination. Additionally, I am unable to engage in sexual activity. I don't know how to treat it. How is candidal balanitis treated, and what medication should be used?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, if you are currently experiencing these symptoms, it is not only possible to have some balanitis, but there is also a high likelihood of a urinary tract infection. Therefore, it is recommended that you first go to a local hospital's urology and obstetrics department for a thorough examination and treatment. For oral medication, you can take several levofloxacin tablets yourself, and use topical anti-inflammatory and antibacterial medications. The above information can be used as a reference.
