Patient's question:
I feel very uncomfortable in my private area, and that feeling cannot be described. It affects my work and life very much, and it's very troublesome. Can you please tell me what kind of medicine is usually used for balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, in this case, you can take oral antibiotics like ofloxacin for inflammation for 3 days. If it improves, you can continue taking them; if not, go to the hospital for a urinalysis. Besides, pay attention to local hygiene; the care of the foreskin is actually very simple. Just rinse it with clean water, remember not to use soap or detergent, because the glans has a natural layer of mucus and mucous membrane to protect it. However, using soap and detergent can destroy the mucous membrane, which can instead lead to urinary tract infections. Besides, the foreskin is prone to bacterial growth!
