Patient's question:
I might have some balanitis, it was very itchy before, with white discharge all over the head of my penis. I washed it every day, but it didn't solve the problem. Today, it has started to turn red, and it seems to have some small rashes. The itching has reduced compared to before, but I'm afraid it might get worse. Currently, the symptoms are like this: it doesn't hurt much, just itchy.Hello, how can I solve this?
Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, the main consideration is balanoposthitis, which is best to pay attention to maintaining good personal hygiene and changing underwear frequently. It is recommended to use potassium permanganate for cleaning, apply it for 100 times for treatment, wear loose clothing, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and carefully observe. If it doesn't improve, go to the urology department of the hospital for examination to identify the cause of the infection and treat the balanoposthitis accordingly. Balanoposthitis can be stabilized, but the treatment process is generally slow, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, use medication appropriately, and during the treatment period, it is recommended to develop good living habits and maintain a proper diet. We hope male patients can recover as soon as possible!
