Is it really difficult to cure candidal balanitis?

Patient's question:

Recently, I felt very uncomfortable with my glans, so I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said I had infected my glans with Candida. I took medication, but it didn't help much. I want to ask if it's really that difficult to heal from a Candida infection of the glans on your own?

Doctor's answer:

If candidal balanitis is not treated promptly, it is difficult to heal on its own. I suggest you go to the hospital as soon as possible for a systematic anti-inflammatory treatment, and then use many instruments to clean it. Pay close attention to your personal hygiene in daily life, and make sure to have a fixed sexual partner. Avoid smoking and drinking alcohol. At the same time, also pay attention to rest time and the quality of deep sleep. The diet should also be made lighter. Depending on the specific changes in the condition, take further treatment measures in a timely manner.
