Patient's question:
Last week, I seemed to have a slight fever, then felt tired and sleepy. When I got home at night, I noticed a red ring on the head of my penis, with some bleeding. At the time, I went to the hospital, and the doctor said it was caused by balanitis. I would like to ask: How can balanitis itching be treated?Doctor's answer:
Consider it may be caused by balanitis. You can use potassium permanganate solution for cleaning and apply erythromycin for treatment. Pay attention to personal hygiene, avoid spicy foods and sexual activity. If it is severe, you can take amoxicillin or azithromycin under the guidance of a doctor for anti-inflammatory treatment. The itching of the glans can be relieved, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay more attention to personal hygiene. We hope male patients can recover quickly.
