Patient's question:
Currently, the white stuff on the head of the penis has gone. But when I urinated today, I felt a little pain in the urethra. Is it getting better or getting worse? What causes urethral pain with balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Consider it may be balanitis causing urinary tract infection, which could be related to poor hygiene, excessive sexual activity, or unsafe sexual practices. You can soak the external genitalia in a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution, apply erythromycin ointment or mupirocin ointment to the glans, and take anti-inflammatory medication and Sanjin tablets for treatment. Rest well, as patients should receive symptomatic treatment promptly and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
