Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing redness, swelling, pain, itching, and a burning sensation in the glans, along with peeling. After examination, it was diagnosed as balanitis. How can I diagnose balanitis?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that you can use a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution for disinfection, and then apply an antibiotic ointment. While implementing local treatment, oral or anesthetic antibiotics are also required. For those who suffer from drug allergies, antihistamines should be taken. For individuals with recurrent phimosis or excessive prepuce leading to inflammation of the glans and prepuce, circumcision should be performed to prevent recurrence. In addition to symptomatic treatment for balanitis, patients also need to pay attention to dietary aspects, such as maintaining a light diet and engaging in more outdoor activities. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a professional hospital for diagnosis to obtain good treatment effects.
