Patient's question:
Some red spots have appeared on the glans, and there is no discomfort, but recently I've noticed that blisters of varying sizes have also appeared, and they are getting more and more. Is this balanitis? Please ask: How is balanitis treated?Doctor's answer:
Currently, oral penicillin V tablets, erythromycin, tetracycline, and potassium permanganate solution (1/5000) can be used for soaking and applying anti-inflammatory ointment. It is recommended to use potassium permanganate solution for cleaning regularly. At the same time, sexual activity and intercourse are strictly prohibited. The diet should avoid spicy foods and opt for a light diet. It is best to seek medical attention at a Grade III-A hospital for examination and treatment. Rest well, eat less spicy and greasy foods, and welcome your consultation. Wishing you good health!For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the recurrence of the condition. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should receive symptomatic treatment promptly and maintain a regular sex life while avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
