Patient's question:
The foreskin has a fishy odor when retracted, it's slightly overgrown, and the examination revealed inflammation of the glans. How should I treat the glans inflammation?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a smear test to check if it is caused by fungi or bacteria. If it is fungal, it is advised to apply topical antifungal medication such as Terbinafine. If it is bacterial, applying erythromycin cream topically and taking azithromycin orally can help alleviate balanitis. However, the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to actively cooperate with your doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and not smoke or drink beer. We hope that male patients can recover quickly!
