Patient's question:
Please help the doctor answer how to treat penile edema and balanitis. We have a patient with this condition at home, and we are extremely anxious. What should we do? We sincerely ask for the doctor's help.Doctor's answer:
Consider it to be balanitis. You can use potassium permanganate and warm water to mix it into a light pink solution, then apply it. Wash it off in the morning and evening. Additionally, you can use Boleson (a product from MSD) for 3-5 days, which should start to be effective. If there's no improvement, you must go to the hospital immediately for a thorough examination. For those with phimosis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene. I wish you a speedy recovery.
