Patient's question:
I got a physical check-up 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 should balanitis be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to externally apply potassium permanganate solution for cleaning, and take levofloxacin and azithromycin orally. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, and quit smoking and alcohol. If there is phimosis, it is necessary to have an early circumcision. Clean the external genitalia daily. During treatment, sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited. Pay attention to cleaning the glans before and after sexual activity. The condition can be relieved, but the treatment process is generally slow, and it is prone to recurrence after recovery. Therefore, medication should be used according to symptoms during treatment. Additionally, it is advised to maintain a healthy lifestyle and proper diet during treatment. We hope male patients can recover quickly.
