Patient's question:
Doctor, my glans has been itchy recently, sometimes it's also swollen and red. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, I was diagnosed with balanitis. What are the common treatments for balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Apply erythromycin ointment or ointment for one week, twice a day. Do not eat irritating foods, and sexual activity is strictly prohibited during treatment. You cannot drink beer. Balanitis can be cured, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, medication must be used according to symptoms during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
