Patient's question:
Today I went to see a doctor. The doctor immediately prescribed calamine lotion and many medications. My urine has a discharge. My glans sometimes itches and hurts. There are small wrinkles, almost rotten but not completely rotten. I haven't had sex. Can calamine lotion and medication be used for balanitis? Can it be cured?Doctor's answer:
It is balanitis. Balanitis refers to the inflammation of the glans penis. This condition can be caused by various pathogens, local irritation, and other factors. It is recommended to take oral anti-inflammatory medication. Apply a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution for local washing. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life to prevent prolonged sitting.
