Candidal glansitis: Combining Chinese and Western medicine to treat it has a magic formula

The incidence of candidal glansitis in men is very high, and after suffering from this disease, everyone needs to be treated quickly. So, how should candidal glansitis be treated?

Western medicine treatment

The basic principle of Western medicine treatment is to reduce inflammation and kill bacteria, and generally treat both internally and externally. Doctors generally recommend that patients first undergo candida examination and culture, and use antifungal and anti-allergic drugs: clean the foreskin and glans dandruff, apply clotrimazole or Daknin ointment externally, the course of treatment is 7 days; take ketoconazole capsules, cephalosporins and quinolones orally, the course of treatment is 2-4 weeks.

Chinese medicine treatment

Traditional Chinese medicine often divides this disease into three types, namely, stagnation of toxic fire, damp-heat and insect-producing, and liver-kidney yin deficiency. Different treatments are given according to different clinical manifestations.

1. Toxic fire stagnation type: The foreskin and glans penis are red and swollen, with erythema, papules, blisters or ulcers, spontaneous pain, difficulty urinating, accompanied by oral ulcers, irritability and anger. This is due to the stagnation of toxic fire and its inability to vent. Treatment should use drugs that clear heat, purge fire and detoxify.

2. Damp-heat and worm-infested type : The glans penis is flushed, with blisters or erosions, and the penis is painful. Laboratory examinations show Candida albicans or Trichomonas infection. It is often accompanied by genital dampness, genital itching, bitter and sticky mouth, and yellow and red urine. This is due to damp-heat evil flowing down into the liver meridian and causing worms. Treatment should use drugs that clear away heat and dampness, kill worms and stop itching.

3. Liver and kidney yin deficiency type: Patches, hypertrophy, or hardening of the foreskin and glans can be seen. Generally, there is no itching or pain, but it may be accompanied by symptoms such as backache and premature ejaculation. This is due to damp heat or damp toxicity damaging the yin of the liver and kidney. The treatment should focus on taking drugs to nourish the liver and kidney.
