Patient's question:
When taking a bath at night, I noticed a white ring around the head of my penis, and it seemed a bit wrinkled and red. Recently, I also found that I wasn't urinating smoothly. After checking at the hospital, they said it was balanitis. Please ask: How much will it cost to treat the redness and swelling of the head of the penis?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to use warm salt water or potassium permanganate solution mixed with warm salt to clean the affected area. If necessary, soak for 5-10 minutes. Apply topical symptomatic ointment. Do this 2-3 times a day. Pay attention to a proper diet and try to avoid alcohol, spicy, greasy, and irritating foods. If necessary, visit a urology department for examination.
