Patient's question:
I've been feeling uncomfortable down there for a while, it's both painful and itchy, and my glans seems particularly red and a bit swollen. The smell is also quite unpleasant, and there's yellow discharge from my glans. Is this likely balanitis? I'm asking: What are some good hospitals for treating balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Phimosis, if there is slight redness, can be treated initially with potassium permanganate solution for cleaning. If there is local discharge, it is advisable to have the discharge tested to identify the specific type of bacterial infection, so that targeted medication can be determined. Phimosis is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to actively seek medical treatment at professional and reputable hospitals. Treatment should be considered based on examination results. Additionally, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should be maintained. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
