Patient's question:
While taking a shower at night, I noticed a white ring around the head of my penis, and it 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. I'm asking: How can the diagnosis of this condition be improved if it causes itching?Doctor's answer:
In this case, consider taking oral roxithromycin for balanoposthitis, while also using potassium permanganate solution for cleaning. It is recommended to frequently clean the foreskin and glans to maintain cleanliness and dryness in the foreskin cavity. If there is phimosis or excessive foreskin, circumcision should be performed.Itchiness of the glans can be stabilized, but the treatment process is generally slow, and relapse is common after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, use medication appropriately, and adopt a healthy lifestyle with proper diet during the treatment period. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
