Patient's question:
These days, after having sexual intercourse with my girlfriend, I've been constantly feeling itchy on my glans, and white stuff has grown. When I urinate, there's also a stinging sensation. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said it's balanitis. I want to ask, what medicine is good for balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Balanitis, in this case, can generally be treated with anti-anaerobic drugs, as most cases of balanitis are caused by fungal or Candida albicans infections, which are both anaerobic bacteria. Therefore, applying anti-inflammatory drugs is relatively suitable. Generally, the commonly used anti-anaerobic drugs are ketoconazole cream, also known as Daktarin cream.
