Patient's question:
Doctor, my glans has been itchy recently, and sometimes it's also swollen and red. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, I was diagnosed with balanitis. How should I treat balanitis for the best results?Doctor's answer:
You should consider it to be balanoposthitis. To thoroughly cure it, if the foreskin is long, it may be necessary to consider a circumcision. You can use potassium permanganate for cleaning, apply levofloxacin ointment for treatment, and pay attention to hygiene. Balanoposthitis can be cured, 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, during the treatment period, it is recommended to adopt good lifestyle habits and maintain a proper diet. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
