Patient's question:
I recently don't know what's going on, my lower body is very uncomfortable, and I'm not getting morning erections anymore. What kind of medicine should I take for balanitis?Doctor's answer:
The basic principle of Western medicine treatment is anti-inflammatory and antibacterial. It is generally a combination of internal and external treatment. For the treatment of acute superficial balanitis and circinate balanitis, erythromycin and tetracycline are the first-line drugs, usually taken 0.5g each time, four times a day. For trichomoniasis balanitis, metronidazole is the first-line drug, taken 0.2g each time, three times a day, for a total of 10 days. For balanitis caused by Candida albicans, it is common to use griseofulvin or itraconazole. Griseofulvin is taken at a dose of 100,000 to 200,000 units, twice a day, and itraconazole is taken 100mg each time, twice a day, for a total of 7 days.
