Patient's question:
My husband has been experiencing discomfort in his lower body recently and was diagnosed with an illness after a hospital check-up. Seeing him often in pain makes me very worried. Could you please ask the doctor, under normal circumstances, how quickly does balanitis usually respond to treatment?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to take metronidazole orally and apply fluconazole ointment externally, while simultaneously using potassium permanganate solution for cleaning. It is advised 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 be stabilized, but the treatment usually takes a long time and is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, patients should follow a light diet, avoid stimulating foods, and not smoke or drink beer. We hope that male patients can recover quickly!
