Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing redness, swelling, pain, itching, and a burning sensation in the glans, along with peeling. After examination, it was diagnosed as balanitis. How can I diagnose balanitis?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that you can use a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution for purification, and then apply antibiotic ointment. While implementing local treatment, oral or anesthetic antibiotics should also be taken. If the condition is caused by drug allergies, antihistamines should be taken as well. For those with phimosis or excessive prepuce who repeatedly suffer from inflammation of the glans and prepuce, circumcision should be performed to prevent recurrence. In addition to symptomatic treatment for balanitis, patients also need to pay attention to dietary aspects, such as maintaining a light diet and engaging in more outdoor activities. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a professional hospital for treatment to achieve good therapeutic effects.
