What is the treatment for balanitis?

Patient's question:

I've been feeling uncomfortable with my glans for a while. After visiting the hospital, they said I have candidal balanitis. So I'd like to know how to treat candidal balanitis.

Doctor's answer:

Candidal balanoposthitis needs to be paid attention to, as it is a relatively common disease and a type of balanitis caused by fungal infection. Generally, Daktarin ointment or fluconazole ointment can be used for treatment. During the treatment period, sexual activity should not be engaged in, otherwise it may lead to cross-infection. Candidal balanitis is likely to be related to female candidal vaginitis, so it is necessary to treat both conditions simultaneously.
