Patient's question:
The glans is red and swollen, with peeling and ulcers on the surface. I don't know if it's inflammation. How can male balanitis be examined and treated?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to go to the hospital to collect secretions from the glans to check if it is bacterial or fungal. Then, you can choose the appropriate medication plan. If it is bacterial balanitis, you can use erythromycin ointment, etc. If it is fungal, you can use Clotrimazole. During treatment, it is strictly forbidden to eat spicy and irritating foods, and sexual activity is strictly prohibited. Balanitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek treatment at professional and reputable hospitals promptly. Treatment should be considered based on detailed examination results. Additionally, it is necessary to limit sexual activity and maintain a positive mood. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
