Patient's question:
Hello! I noticed patches on my glans with different colors, and there's a ring of white substance around the edge of the glans that doesn't wash off. Is this a sign of balanitis? If it is, could you please tell me how to treat the swollen foreskin properly?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, there is a possibility of a urinary tract infection. Penicillin and metronidazole can be used for symptomatic treatment. Change your underwear frequently, drink more water and urinate more often, and avoid spicy and irritating foods like chili peppers. Keep the area clean and dry, and actively pursue anti-inflammatory treatment. A problem-free foreskin can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, use medication appropriately, and maintain good lifestyle habits and dietary choices during the treatment. We hope that male patients can recover quickly!
