Patient's question:
What medication is most effective for balanitis? I hope the doctor can provide a more detailed answer.Doctor's answer:
Phimosis, which is a relatively common condition, is primarily caused by excessive foreskin that is not cleaned promptly, leading to the accumulation of smegma. Treatment mainly involves cleaning and medication. It is recommended that you visit the urology department of a hospital for follow-up. After a thorough examination by the doctor, the causative pathogen of the infection can be identified, and medication can be administered accordingly. Currently, cleaning is the primary treatment. Cleaning can be done using a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution. It is important to maintain good local hygiene.
