Patient's question:
I have been experiencing severe balanitis recently, and the effect of medication has not been very good. Moreover, I have mold balanitis, and I'm worried that this condition will affect my health. So, I would like to ask what are the effective medications for treating mold balanitis?Doctor's answer:
For candidal balanitis, symptomatic treatment is generally recommended, often involving antibiotics such as penicillin. Antifungal medications like Terbinafine cream or Clotrimazole ointment can also be used for treatment. Since bacterial infections or other viral infections can interfere with male reproductive health, early medication should be administered for symptomatic relief. Preventive measures should be taken regularly, including drinking more water, urinating frequently, and maintaining good personal hygiene. High-manganese potassium dilution or physiological saline can be used to rinse the glans, and underwear should be changed frequently. During treatment, sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited to avoid cross-infection. Avoid spicy and irritating foods. If symptoms do not improve or recur frequently, appropriate digestive vitamins can be taken to boost the immune system.
