Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling some abnormalities in my glans, with persistent itching. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, I was diagnosed with balanitis. How should I treat balanitis?Doctor's answer:
The basic principle of Western medicine treatment for red rashes on the glans is anti-inflammatory and antibacterial. It is generally a combination of internal and external treatments. For the treatment of acute superficial balanitis and annular purulent balanitis, erythromycin and tetracycline are the first-line medications. For trichomoniasis balanitis, metronidazole is the first-line treatment. Balanitis can be relieved, but the treatment process is usually slow, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, it is recommended to maintain a healthy lifestyle and diet during the treatment period. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
