Patient's question:
Last week, I seemed to have a slight fever, then felt tired and sleepy. When I came 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. Please ask: How should balanitis be treated and improved?Doctor's answer:
In this case, it is considered a symptom of balanitis. You can apply erythromycin ointment or mupirocin ointment for treatment, twice a day for one week. Avoid spicy foods during treatment, and sexual activity is strictly prohibited. Do not drink beer. Balanitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to actively seek treatment at professional and reputable hospitals based on examination results. Also, pay attention to a proper diet, avoid sexual activity, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
