Patient's question:
The glans is red and swollen, with peeling and ulcers on the surface. I don't know if it's inflammation, but how should be treated?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to take metronidazole orally and apply fluconazole ointment externally, while simultaneously using potassium permanganate solution for cleaning. It is advised to frequently clean the foreskin and glans to maintain cleanliness and dryness in the foreskin cavity. If there is phimosis or paraphimosis, circumcision should be performed. Maintain a light diet and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Balanitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to actively seek treatment at professional and reputable hospitals and consider treatment based on examination results. Also, pay attention to proper diet, avoid sexual activity, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
