How to treat male balanitis

Patient's question:

Doctor, I don't know how I got this disease right now. I have otitis media, but I forgot what anti-inflammatory medicine I was allergic to. I have red spots on my body, and it's also itchy down there. I wore more clothes those days and sweated a lot, feeling very uncomfortable. Then I noticed the red spots, and there was also erosion on the glans. I didn't go to a big hospital; I saw it at the outpatient clinic. Now I'm using hydrogen peroxide to wash and taking fluconazole tablets. It's been about ten days, but it's still not getting better. I'd like to ask the doctor if there's any medicine that can treat this.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the causes of balanitis are commonly seen in phimosis, paraphimosis, masturbation, trauma, and infections, etc. The clinical manifestations are often characterized by local itching, redness, erosion, and even ulcers, along with the presence of discharge and an odor. In severe cases, it may lead to fever, chills, systemic symptoms, or even penile swelling and pain. It is important to pay attention to the hygiene of the external genitalia. If there is phimosis or paraphimosis, surgical treatment should be sought early. Masturbation and sexual activity should be regular, avoiding unsafe sexual practices. Clothing should be loose, and a diet should avoid spicy and irritating foods. It is recommended that you seek medical examination and treatment at a hospital as soon as possible. Wishing you good health! Wishing you good health!
