Patient's question:
I got a 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: What causes the redness and swelling of the glans?Doctor's answer:
In this case, there is balanitis. Treatment suggestions include applying potassium permanganate solution externally and taking levofloxacin and azithromycin orally. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, quit smoking and alcohol. If there is phimosis, it is necessary to have circumcision performed as soon as possible. Wash the external genitalia daily, and pay attention to washing before and after sexual activity. Balanitis with redness and swelling can be cured, but the treatment process is generally slow and prone to recurrence after recovery. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, it is recommended to maintain a healthy lifestyle and proper diet during the treatment period. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
