Patient's question:
Five days ago, I had some pain when urinating, and my glans hurt a bit when riding a bike or walking. There were red spots and many white spots on my glans. I had this before, and it got better after a few days. This time, the doctor at the hospital said it was balanitis, and the urine test was normal. I took Zithromax for three days, and the pain stopped, but there are still red spots and white spots.Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your condition, it is considered to be balanitis, which can be treated with a combination of antifungal medications such as topical and oral applications.Guidance: The basic principle of Western medicine treatment is anti-inflammatory and antibacterial. Generally, it involves both internal and external treatment. For acute superficial balanitis and annular erosive balanitis, erythromycin and tetracycline are the first-line treatments. For balanitis caused by Candida albicans, it is commonly treated with griseofulvin or itraconazole. During this period, it is also important to maintain good personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
