Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling a lot of pain in my testicles, and this week I've also had a fever. Usually, I feel cold, and when I take a bath, I notice that my testicles seem to contain a lot of liquid. Please ask: How is it best to treat balanitis?Doctor's answer:
It is the most common type of disease. Most patients have excessive foreskin. Between the glans and the excessive foreskin, a warm and moist bacterial culture medium is formed by shed epithelial cells, glandular secretions, and smegma bacteria. Once bacteria enter, inflammation can occur. Treatment can involve scrubbing the affected area with a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution, then applying an antibiotic ointment, using antibiotics appropriately, and often relieving symptoms within a few days. Thank you. Foreskin conditions are prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek professional and regular medical treatment promptly, and treatment should be considered based on examination results. Also, pay attention to a proper diet, avoid sexual activity, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
