Patient's question:
I've been feeling uncomfortable downstairs for this period, it's both painful and itchy, and it seems like my glans is particularly red and a bit swollen. The smell is especially unpleasant, and there's yellow discharge from the glans. Is this likely glans inflammation? I'd like to know: How can I effectively prevent balanitis in daily life?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to take metronidazole orally and apply fluconazole ointment externally. At the same time, use potassium permanganate solution for cleaning. It is advisable to frequently clean the foreskin and glans to maintain cleanliness and dryness in the foreskin cavity. If there is phimosis or paraphimosis, circumcision should be performed. Maintain a light diet and avoid spicy and irritating foods. The foreskin can heal, but the treatment period is usually long, and relapse is common after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication should be used according to symptoms. Additionally, patients should follow a light diet, avoid spicy foods, smoking, and drinking beer. We hope that male patients can recover quickly!
