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 it after the glans becomes swollen and red?Doctor's answer:
According to your description of the condition, you may currently have balanitis caused by a urinary tract infection. It is recommended that you take anti-inflammatory drugs such as levofloxacin orally and try washing with Furin or a one-thousandth potassium permanganate solution. Balanitis with redness and swelling can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to use medications that are appropriate for the symptoms during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
