Patient's question:
The symptom is smegma in the foreskin, which has been occurring for about a year. The hospital prescribed ointment to apply, but the condition cleared up after stopping the medication. Later, I bought a special medicine online, but after using it, the smegma increased slightly, with only a small amount removed. What are the treatment methods for balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Consider balanitis, take oral roxithromycin, and simultaneously use potassium permanganate solution for cleaning. It is recommended to frequently clean the foreskin and glans to maintain the cleanliness and dryness of the foreskin cavity. The condition of balanitis tends to recur, requiring long-term oral medication. For male patients, it is important to seek medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital immediately, and treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Additionally, avoid smoking and drinking alcohol, and pay attention to personal hygiene.
