Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling some discomfort in my penis and have been very worried that it might affect future fertility. So, I went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said it was balanitis, which explains why there were signs of ulcers on my glans. I'm really worried that the condition might worsen.Doctor's answer:
Appropriate medication should be administered. For example, Candida balanitis can be treated with topical nystatin ointment, clotrimazole, econazole, or miconazole cream, or with oral antifungal drugs such as itraconazole, fluconazole, miconazole, or ketoconazole. Trichomoniasis balanitis can be treated with metronidazole, tinidazole, or griseofulvin. I believe everyone knows that balanitis can cause significant harm to patients, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary issues, avoiding irritating foods, and maintaining a balanced diet. Additionally, regular follow-up visits may be necessary when needed.
