Patient's question:
The glans is red and swollen, and when it enlarges, it develops folds. The doctor at the hospital performed a thorough examination and said there was nothing wrong with it. They prescribed me some clarithromycin and tinidazole tablets, as well as some topical medication. It has been a week since then, but it hasn't improved yet. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
The consideration is balanitis. Apply a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution for local cleaning. And maintain dryness at all times. Under the guidance of a doctor, take antibiotics to treat the condition. Pay attention to genital hygiene. Always maintain dryness. Bathe frequently. Change underwear frequently. Avoid a history of unprotected sex. For patients with red and swollen glans, timely treatment can reduce the incidence. If not treated in a timely manner, it may affect health. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and pay more attention to self-care in daily life. Avoid spicy foods.
