Patient's question:
About a week ago. At first, there were small red spots on the glans, with occasional itching. I'm taking medication, specifically roxithromycin, and using potassium permanganate for cleaning, but it hasn't taken effect yet. Now there are a few small red spots on the foreskin as well. Why is it getting worse? Previous treatment history and effectiveness: I took roxithromycin and used potassium permanganate for cleaning. What kind of assistance do you need: How should I treat it? What medication do I need?Doctor's answer:
Balanoposthitis can easily lead to inflammation of the prostate, testicles, epididymis, and vas deferens. If it is not treated promptly and effectively, the infections can spread to each other, causing significant harm to perinatal health. The choice of medication depends on the specific type of infection. After the infection subsides, circumcising an excessively long foreskin is the fundamental solution to the problem. Balanitis can be relieved, but the treatment process is generally slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor during treatment.
