Patient's question:
I want to know about the redness, swelling, and itching of the glans, with white discharge during the day. I want to know what to do.Doctor's answer:
In this case, there is balanitis. Treatment suggestions include applying potassium permanganate solution externally and taking levofloxacin and azithromycin orally. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, quit smoking and alcohol. If there is phimosis, it is necessary to have an early circumcision. Wash the external genitalia daily, and pay attention to washing the glans before and after sexual activity. The redness and swelling of the glans can be recovered, 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 medication plan during treatment. Additionally, it is recommended to develop good living habits and maintain a proper diet during the treatment period.
