Patient's question:
Recently, I noticed mild redness and swelling of the penis foreskin and glans, with significant edema and severe itching of the foreskin. What are the treatment methods for foreskin redness and swelling?Doctor's answer:
Thank you for your consultation. Based on the situation you described, you have balanitis. The treatment recommendation is to externally apply potassium permanganate solution for cleaning, and take levofloxacin and azithromycin orally. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, quit smoking and alcohol. If you have phimosis, it is necessary to have an early circumcision. Clean the external genitalia daily, and pay attention to cleaning before and after sexual activity. The foreskin can be cured, but the treatment period is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, use medication appropriately, and avoid sitting or riding for long periods. Pay attention to personal hygiene. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
