Patient's question:
3 years ago, a red erosion similar to an ulcer was found at the urethral orifice, causing sand-like pain upon touch, and occasional pain during urination. It was never treated. The size of the lesion has not changed, and the symptoms have not worsened.Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description, it may be candidal balanoposthitis, caused by a Candida infection. It is recommended to take itraconazole capsules and apply topical antifungal creams such as clotrimazole/lotrimin ointment. Clean the penis with physiological saline or a 0.1% rivanol solution. Avoid sexual activity during treatment. Wishing you a speedy recovery. I believe everyone knows that urinary tract infections can cause significant harm to men, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. Pay attention to dietary issues in daily life and avoid spicy foods. Maintain a balanced diet. Additionally, regular follow-up visits may be necessary if needed.
