Patient's question:
The foreskin has a fishy odor when retracted, it's slightly overgrown, and the examination revealed inflammation of the glans. How should I treat the glans inflammation?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a smear test to check if it is caused by a fungus or bacteria. If it is a fungus, it is advised to apply topical antifungal medication such as Terbinafine. If it is bacterial, apply erythromycin cream topically and take azithromycin orally to treat balanitis. This can alleviate the symptoms, but the treatment period is usually long, and there is a high risk of recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with your doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and not smoke or drink beer. We hope male patients can recover as soon as possible!
