Patient's question:
The glans is swollen and it feels a bit like a fungal infection. There is a lot of smegma and a bad odor. Every few days, I use potassium permanganate to wash it, then follow up with sulfur soap. After a few days, it reappears again. Sometimes it hurts especially when I wash it next time. I don't want to go to the hospital because I don't have money, no time, and I don't want to cause a fuss. I just want to take some medicine and apply some ointment. Could you please recommend something to the doctors?Doctor's answer:
，，。，，，。，、。，。，，。The initial consideration is a fungal infection. Using a few days of antifungal medication and external washing can be very effective. I suggest you not avoid medical treatment and instead go to a formal hospital for a thorough examination to confirm whether there is phimosis and fungal infection, and then address it accordingly. Additionally, the other half should also receive concurrent treatment, avoiding spicy and irritating foods, and ensuring adequate rest. The condition of redness and swelling of the glans is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term oral medication. Moreover, for male patients, it is crucial to immediately seek treatment at a professional and formal hospital. Treatment should be considered based on the examination results.
