Patient's question:
I have been married to my wife for many years, and we have not used any contraception, but we have never been able to get pregnant. After checking at the hospital, I found out that my foreskin is red and swollen. How should this be treated?Doctor's answer:
Considering it might be balanoposthitis, it is recommended to take metronidazole orally and apply fluconazole cream externally. At the same time, use potassium permanganate solution for cleaning. It is advised to frequently clean the foreskin and glans to maintain cleanliness and dryness in the foreskin cavity. If there is phimosis or excessive foreskin, circumcision should be performed. Maintain a light diet and avoid spicy and irritating foods.In addition, during the treatment of balanitis, in addition to timely treatment, the patient's diet and psychological state are also very important. The patient must maintain a light diet and always keep a cheerful and optimistic attitude to avoid unnecessary interference with the recovery of balanitis.
