Patient's question:
My second cousin came to my house for dinner today. He didn't eat much and didn't look well. He said he's been experiencing some inflammation on his glans recently, and it hurts a bit when he urinates. There are some small red spots around the head of his penis. What kind of ointment should be used for red spots on the glans due to inflammation?Doctor's answer:
You can apply topical macrolide antibiotic ointment externally and combine it with oral cephalosporin or quinolone drugs for treatment. At the same time, pay attention to drinking plenty of water, not holding in urine, keeping the area clean, changing underwear frequently, and wearing loose underwear. During treatment, sexual activity is strictly prohibited, or if it occurs, use a condom to prevent infection to the female partner. In terms of diet, it should be light and avoid spicy and irritating foods, smoking, and drinking beer. Stay active. Balanitis can cause significant interference to patients. Once symptoms are noticed, seek medical attention promptly. Pay close attention to dietary issues, with a focus on light foods. We hope that patients with balanitis can receive professional treatment.
