Patient's question:
Phimosis and balanitis with inflammation and large bumps. The hospital recommended red light therapy. I just had one session today. Is it necessary to do it? 40 minutes for 200 yuan, I feel it's not necessary, it's just a matter of how fast it heals. They prescribed Azithromycin Soft Capsules, Hot Granules, and Mupirocin Ointment. Should I go back tomorrow? Can I rely on these medications? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
If you feel uncomfortable with the symptoms, you can temporarily take oral medication for symptomatic treatment. For red light therapy, it can improve blood circulation and speed up the healing of scars. With timely oral medication and standardized treatment, it is generally curable. Don't worry! For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If it is not treated in time, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take medication according to their symptoms and avoid overexertion in daily life, while also paying attention to personal hygiene.
