Patient's question:
I've been feeling uncomfortable down there for a while. It's both painful and itchy, and my glans seems particularly red and a bit swollen. The odor is also quite unpleasant, and there are yellowish secretions on my glans. Is this likely glans inflammation? I'd like to know: How should I treat it to improve the condition?Doctor's answer:
Your condition, generally considered to be, caused by excessive foreskin, it is recommended to soak with 1/5000 potassium permanganate solution and apply an anti-inflammatory ointment. For allergic balanoposthitis, oral antihistamines and topical ointments are required. If due to phimosis or foreskin edema, it is not possible to move and soak, leading to poor drainage, and if the inflammation does not subside after general treatment, the (preputial dorsal incision) can be performed to facilitate drainage. After the inflammation completely subsides, the (circumcision) can be performed.Thank you very much for your consultation. Balanitis can be cured, but the general treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to use medications appropriately during treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid (irritating foods), and not smoke or drink beer. We hope male patients can recover as soon as possible.
