Patient's question:
When taking a bath at night, I noticed a white ring around the head of my penis, and the head of my penis 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 would like to ask: What is the most effective treatment for redness and swelling of the head of the penis?Doctor's answer:
Gonococcal urethritis, patients with balanoposthitis will have a tolerable feeling of pain or itching in the glans and foreskin in the early stage. If not treated in time, it will cause redness and papules, and finally lead to erosion and exudation. A detailed examination of secretions in the hospital will reveal bacterial spores, hyphae, or trichomonads. Balanoposthitis patients will have a tolerable feeling of pain or itching in the glans and foreskin in the early stage. If not treated in time, it will cause redness and papules, and finally lead to erosion and exudation. The redness and swelling of the glans can be stabilized, but the general treatment process is slow, and it is easy to relapse after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication must be used according to the symptoms. Additionally, patients need to maintain a light diet, avoid spicy foods, and not smoke or drink beer. It is hoped that male patients can do their best.
