How to treat candidal balanitis?

Patient's question:

I always hate going to nightclubs because there are quite a few women I encounter, and some of them are a bit promiscuous. Recently, I've been feeling uncomfortable, and after a thorough check-up, it was diagnosed as candidal balanitis. I want to ask the doctor how to treat this?

Doctor's answer:

Seek medical attention promptly and consult a urologist to undergo specific and detailed examinations. Then, use a variety of antifungal medications based on the specific condition. During the treatment, we must pay attention to rest and avoid fatigue. Clean the glans area with an alkaline solution every night. Underwear should be changed frequently, sterilized with boiling water, and then exposed to sunlight. Generally, this is often considered a fungal infection caused by excessive foreskin, which may present symptoms such as redness, swelling, itching, and discharge.
