Patient's question:
I got tested for a physical last week and found balanitis. It seems to be getting worse recently, with some bleeding and discharge, and it looks like there are also blisters. Is the condition getting serious? Please ask: How can I relieve the redness and swelling of the glans effectively?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description of your condition, you may currently have balanitis caused by a urinary tract infection. It is recommended that you take anti-inflammatory medications orally, such as levofloxacin, and try using a liquid or a one-thousandth potassium permanganate solution for cleaning. The redness and swelling of the glans can be stabilized, but the treatment process is generally slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to use medications that are appropriate for your symptoms during treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and not smoke or drink beer. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
