Patient's question:
I have phimosis and developed balanitis, but now I'm in a country with very limited medical resources and don't know what medicine can treat it. I have already bought potassium permanganate solution, but it will take two weeks to arrive. What should I do now for the best solution? Which method for treating balanitis has the best effect?Doctor's answer:
Treatment suggestions: Apply potassium permanganate solution topically for cleaning, and take levofloxacin and azithromycin orally. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, quit smoking and alcohol. If there is phimosis, it is necessary to have circumcision at an early stage. Clean the external genitalia daily, and pay attention to cleaning the glans before and after sexual activity. The condition of balanitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to actively seek professional and regular medical treatment, and consider treatment based on examination results. Also, pay attention to quitting smoking and alcohol, maintaining personal hygiene, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
