How to handle a balanitis condition better?

Patient's question:

I don't pay much attention to this aspect either, and there are no restrictions on my sexual life or intercourse. Recently, I noticed that my glans is a bit red and swollen, and it's also a bit itchy and painful. What kind of medicine should I buy from a pharmacy?

Doctor's answer:

It is recommended that you first prioritize personal hygiene. Clean the glans and inner foreskin with clean water daily, and you can also apply erythromycin ointment to maintain dryness and cleanliness in the lower body. Controlling the frequency of sexual intercourse can alleviate balanitis, but the treatment process is generally slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication should be used according to the symptoms. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene.
