Phimosis, please go to the urology department for diagnosis. Specific treatment should be implemented under the guidance of local doctors, and local hygiene should be maintained at all times to prevent secondary infection. Wash the glans and foreskin daily. If the foreskin is too long, it should be treated in a timely manner, and circumcision may be necessary if necessary. It is very important to clean the smegma of the foreskin promptly. Dry scaling can be treated with tetracycline and hydrocortisone ointment. Additionally, oral antibiotics such as amoxicillin or ciprofloxacin can be taken. In addition to symptomatic treatment for balanitis, patients also need to pay attention to nursing care, such as maintaining a light diet and exercising more. At the same time, patients should pay attention to choosing a regular hospital for treatment to obtain good therapeutic effects.
