Patient's question:
I have some whitehead-like particles on my glans, and they are particularly red and rough. Lately, when I urinate, there is always white discharge coming out, and it's extremely itchy. I went to see a doctor and was told it's glans inflammation. Please ask: How should the examination for balanitis be done correctly?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 condition of the foreskin is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to actively seek treatment from professional and reputable hospitals, and treatment should be considered based on examination results. Pay attention to a proper diet, avoid sexual activity, and wish all patients a speedy recovery.
