Patient's question:
When taking a shower at night, I noticed a white ring around the head of my penis, and the head of my penis seemed a bit wrinkled and red. Recently, I also found that I wasn't urinating smoothly. After checking at the hospital, they said it was balanitis. Please ask: what should I do if the foreskin is swollen and red?Doctor's answer:
According to the description, it is temporarily necessary to consider the possibility of inflammation. It is recommended to use symptomatic topical P powder for ( Sitz bath ) and take Azithromycin, Amoxicillin, and Levofloxacin orally for symptomatic treatment. If there has been unprotected sexual intercourse, excessive sexual activity, or other unhealthy sexual behaviors, further detailed examination and laboratory tests are needed to confirm the diagnosis and adopt comprehensive evaluation measures for treatment to restore health. The foreskin can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor during treatment, appropriate medication, and avoiding prolonged sitting or riding are essential. Additionally, patients should pay attention to personal hygiene. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
