Patient's question:
The genital area has been emitting a persistent odor recently, even after washing, and the glans has become somewhat red, resembling the onset of ulcers. What are the various treatments available for 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 test the discharge to identify the specific type of bacterial infection, so that targeted medication can be determined. Phimosis can be relieved, but the treatment process is generally slow, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication must be used according to symptoms. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and not smoke or drink beer. I hope male patients can recover quickly!
