Patient's question:
I got a check-up last week and found that I have balanitis. It seems to be getting worse recently, with some bleeding and discharge, and it looks like there are also blisters. Is the condition getting serious? Please ask: How should balanitis be treated to get better?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, the main consideration is balanoposthitis caused by the skin. It is best to pay attention to maintaining good personal hygiene and changing underwear frequently. It is recommended to use potassium permanganate for cleaning, apply symptomatic ointment for treatment, wear loose clothing, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and carefully observe. If it doesn't improve, go to the urology department of a hospital for examination and treatment of the cause of the infection. Balanoposthitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is necessary to seek medical treatment immediately at a professional and regular hospital. Treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Also, pay attention to restricting sexual activity and maintaining a good mood. Finally, I wish all patients a speedy recovery.
