Patient's question:
Last week, I seemed to have a slight fever, then felt tired and sleepy. When I got home at night, I noticed a red ring on the head of my penis, with some bleeding. At the time, I went to the hospital, and the doctor said it was caused by balanitis. Please ask: How can one handle balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Phimosis, if there is slight redness, can be treated initially with potassium permanganate solution for cleaning. If there is local discharge, it is best to examine the discharge to identify the specific type of bacterial infection, so that targeted medication can be determined. For patients with phimosis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the condition. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should promptly receive medication and pay attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
