Patient's question:
I've been feeling uncomfortable down there for this period, it's both painful and itchy, and my glans seems particularly red and a bit swollen. The odor is especially unpleasant, and there are yellowish secretions on my glans. Is this likely balanitis? I'm asking: What are the best methods for treating balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Phimosis, apply a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution locally and maintain dryness at all times. Under the guidance of a doctor, take antibiotics for treatment. Pay attention to genital hygiene, maintain dryness, bathe frequently, change underwear often, and avoid promiscuous sexual history. Phimosis can be relieved, but the treatment process is usually slow, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, use medication appropriately, and avoid prolonged sitting or riding. Pay attention to personal hygiene, and we hope male patients can recover quickly!
