Patient's question:
Vaginal itching, went to the hospital and was told it was balanitis, treated for two days and it's a bit better than before, not as itchy as before. How can balanitis be effectively relieved?Doctor's answer:
Available: Soak with 1/5000 potassium permanganate solution and apply anti-inflammatory ointment. Additionally, besides allergic balanitis and fungal balanitis, it is better to visit the dermatology department or urology department for a follow-up examination to determine the type of inflammation and confirm the diagnosis before treatment. Pay attention to hygiene and avoid spicy foods. Balanitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek professional and regular medical treatment promptly and consider treatment based on examination results. Also, maintain a proper diet and avoid sexual activity.
