Patient's question:
Last week, I seemed to have a slight fever, then felt tired and sleepy. When I came home at night, I noticed a red ring had formed 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 I treat balanitis more effectively?Doctor's answer:
Phimosis is more commonly caused by fungi and is relatively easy to treat. Sensitive medications such as fluconazole and levofloxacin can be taken orally, and they can be combined with topical application of fluconazole ointment for faster results. Pay attention to genital hygiene and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.For patients with phimosis, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication according to their symptoms and avoid overexertion in daily life while maintaining good personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
