Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with balanitis. I don't know much about this disease, so I'd like to consult. What are the treatments for red and swollen glans?Doctor's answer:
In this case, consider balanoposthitis. It is recommended to take roxithromycin orally, while also using potassium permanganate solution for cleaning. It is advisable 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. Balanitis can be cured, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
