Patient's question:
16 days after the foreskin surgery, the glans is red. Currently, I am taking cefadroxil capsules orally and using potassium permanganate for external sterilization. How should I handle balanitis after the foreskin surgery?Doctor's answer:
Considering the symptoms caused by the irritation of balanoposthitis, it can be decided to actively use potassium permanganate for external washing. During the treatment period, sexual activity should be avoided. If necessary, oral anti-inflammatory medication can be used in conjunction. Balanoposthitis can be relieved, but the treatment period is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, medication should be used according to symptoms during treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and not smoke or drink beer.
