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 effective is oral medication for treating balanitis?Doctor's answer:
In this case, consider balanoposthitis. Take roxithromycin orally, and at the same time, use potassium permanganate solution for cleaning. It is recommended to frequently clean the foreskin and glans to maintain cleanliness and dryness in the foreskin cavity. If there is phimosis or excessive foreskin, circumcision should be performed. Balanoposthitis can be relieved, but the treatment period is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, use medication appropriately, and also adopt a healthy lifestyle and diet during the treatment period. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
