Patient's question:
A few days ago, I suddenly felt a bit of redness on my glans, and it was also difficult to go to the bathroom. At first, I didn't feel comfortable going to the hospital, but later I realized I couldn't delay it any longer, so I went to the hospital. The doctor said it was balanitis, and I had no choice but to start treatment at the hospital. I'm not sure if it will affect my future life. How can I treat balanitis quickly?Doctor's answer:
First, always maintain local cleanliness to prevent secondary infection. In terms of medication, it is recommended to soak the affected area with a 1/5000 potassium permanganate solution and apply an anti-inflammatory ointment, while also taking roxithromycin orally. If there is phimosis or paraphimosis, it is advisable to undergo circumcision. Additionally, it is recommended to regularly clean the foreskin and glans. Keeping the foreskin cavity clean and dry can help recover from balanitis. During treatment, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment and use medication appropriately. Patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and refrain from smoking and drinking beer.
