Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing itching in the penis with occasional pain. After examination, it was diagnosed as balanitis. I would like to know what medication and cleaning solution should be used for balanitis.Doctor's answer:
Hello, this situation should be considered as balanoposthitis, which is likely related to phimosis or bacterial infection. It is recommended to take oral roxithromycin, while also using 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 phimosis or phimosis is present, circumcision should be performed. There are many treatment methods for balanitis, but since the symptoms of patients differ, the diagnostic methods used also vary. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek diagnosis and treatment as soon as symptoms are noticed.
