Patient's question:
Gonococcal infection of the glans, with red and white bumps. The infected area is slightly red but not painful or itchy. What are the treatment methods for balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Considering there may be balanitis, penicillin and metronidazole can be used for symptomatic treatment. Change underwear frequently, drink more water, and that should be sufficient. Drink more water, urinate more frequently, and avoid spicy and irritating foods like chili peppers. Keep the area clean and dry, and actively treat the inflammation. Balanitis tends to recur, so long-term oral medication may be necessary. For male patients, it is important to seek treatment at a professional and reputable hospital promptly. Treatment should be considered based on the results of a thorough examination. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking and drinking, and maintain good personal hygiene.
