Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with balanitis. I don't know much about this disease and would like to consult about how to properly treat balanitis itching.Doctor's answer:
In this case, consider taking oral roxithromycin for balanoposthitis, while also using 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. For patients with glans itching, timely treatment can reduce the incidence. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly according to symptoms and pay attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
