Patient's question:
I might have a bit of balanitis. Before, it was very itchy, with white discharge covering the head of my penis. I washed it every day, but it didn't solve the problem. Today, it has started to turn red, and it seems to have a few small rashes. The itching has reduced compared to before, but I'm afraid it might get worse. Currently, the symptoms are like this: it doesn't hurt much, just itchy.Hello, how can I solve this?
Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, the main consideration is balanoposthitis, which is a skin condition. It is best to pay attention to maintaining good personal hygiene and changing underwear frequently. It is recommended to use potassium permanganate for cleaning, apply it for 100 times for treatment, wear loose clothing, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Carefully observe the condition. If it does not improve, go to the urology department of the hospital for examination to identify the cause of the infection and treat the balanoposthitis accordingly. The condition can be stabilized, but the treatment process is generally slow, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, use medication appropriately, and during the treatment period, it is recommended to develop good living habits and have a proper diet. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
