Patient's question:
Doctor, I have candidal balanitis. I have undergone a circumcision surgery 12 days ago, and my glans is still a bit red and painful. This is abnormal. Should I take anti-inflammatory medication?Doctor's answer:
12 days after surgery, the glans has pain and redness, which is a normal physiological phenomenon. My advice is to use povidone-iodine for sterilization, pay attention to personal hygiene, and change underwear frequently. Using a cleaning solution to clean the glans can stabilize the condition, but the treatment cycle is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication should be used according to the symptoms. Additionally, it is recommended to develop good living habits and have a proper diet during the treatment period.
