Patient's question:
Penile balanitis has persisted for several months. There is some pain and itching on the glans, and a thorough examination revealed a large number of Gram-positive cocci. After applying medication for two weeks, there has been no improvement. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Based on the current symptoms, it is suggested that if there is a presence of Gram-positive cocci, active medication treatment is required. It is recommended to use externally applied Trimethoprim Cream, combined with oral intake of cephalosporin anti-inflammatory medication to see the effect. During this period, sexual activity should be strictly prohibited, and hygiene should be maintained. Maintain a light diet and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Balanitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication for maintenance. For male patients, it is important to actively seek medical treatment at professional and reputable hospitals and consider treatment based on examination results. Additionally, sexual activity should be restricted, and a positive mood should be maintained.
