Patient's question:
16 days after the circumcision surgery, the glans is red. Currently taking Cefdinir capsules orally and using potassium permanganate for sterilization externally. How to handle balanitis after circumcision surgery?Doctor's answer:
Consider it may be balanitis caused by inflammation from surgery. Active anti-inflammatory treatment is needed, and generally the issue is not serious. There is no need to worry excessively. It is recommended that if the condition is mild, you can frequently rinse with clean water; if it is severe, consider using potassium permanganate solution for topical application, and take levofloxacin and azithromycin orally for treatment. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence, while delayed treatment may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take timely symptomatic treatment and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
