How to treat Candida balanitis?

Patient's question:

Doctor, hello
Is candidal balanitis and fungal balanitis the same thing? How is candidal balanitis treated? How is fungal balanitis treated? What medications are used? Please tell me.
Also, can I have children with this condition now? Do the medications used for treatment have side effects? Thank you, doctor.
First follow-up question: What is used for treatment?
Good. How long does it take to heal?

Doctor's answer:

Candida albicans infection is a fungal infection, and it can be treated with antifungal therapy. Topical creams can be applied, or oral medications can be taken. Oral antifungal medications may cause liver damage, so liver function needs to be checked regularly. It is best not to consider fertility issues during medication. Additionally, avoid sexual intercourse with a partner during treatment to prevent cross-infection.
As everyone knows, balanitis can cause significant harm to patients, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, dietary habits should be noted—prioritize a light diet and avoid foods. Regular follow-up visits may be necessary when needed.
