Patient's question:
Long-term balanitis with inflammation, itching, and a bad odor. I'm only 20 years old. What should I pay attention to when treating balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Early balanitis can be treated with 1/5000 potassium permanganate immersion twice a day. Oral anti-inflammatory drugs such as ofloxacin can also be taken. In daily life, pay attention to hygiene, wear soft underwear to prevent irritation to the glans, and change underwear frequently. This treatment is very cost-effective. The condition of balanitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is necessary to seek medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital immediately, and treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Additionally, it is important to abstain from sexual activity and maintain a positive mood. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
