Patient's question:
Last week, I seemed to have a slight fever, then felt tired and sleepy. When I came home that 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. I would like to ask: How can balanitis be recovered more quickly?Doctor's answer:
Hello; The treatment for balanitis should be targeted at the cause of inflammation, so it varies from person to person. The basic principle of Western medicine treatment is anti-inflammatory and antibacterial. Generally, it involves both internal and external treatment. For acute superficial balanitis and annular purulent balanitis, erythromycin and tetracycline are the first-line treatments. Balanitis can be relieved, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor and appropriate medication are essential during treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and not smoke or drink beer. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
