Patient's question:
The doctor prescribed Hot Granules, Levofloxacin Tablets, and Povidone-Iodine Solution for balanoposthitis. Can I just take the medicine without soaking in the solution? Will soaking in the solution have side effects?Doctor's answer:
It's better to soak in the bath, it's generally not very disruptive, no need to worry anymore. It's recommended to pay attention to personal hygiene and keep the external genital area dry at all times. Eat a light diet and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Change underwear frequently. During treatment, sexual activity should be avoided. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the recurrence. If not treated in time, it may affect your health. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and pay more attention to self-care in daily life to avoid spicy foods.
