Patient's question:
Last week, I seemed to have a slight fever, then felt tired and sleepy. When I got home at night, I noticed a red ring on the head of my penis, with some bleeding. At the time, I went to the hospital, and the doctor said it was caused by balanitis. I would like to ask: How can balanitis be prevented in its early stages?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 a long foreskin, circumcision should be performed. Balanitis can be cured, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's treatment plan is essential during the treatment, appropriate medication should be used, and the patient should also maintain a light diet, avoid stimulating foods, and not smoke or drink beer. It is hoped that male patients can recover as soon as possible.
