Patient's question:
After unclean sexual behavior, the balanoposthitis transmitted is caused by fungus or bacteria. At first, there were white secretions. There were small red spots on the glans, along with urinary pain and itching. After taking medication, the glans remained slightly red, while other symptoms subsided. High washing was used but it did not improve. Recently, erythromycin ointment and miconazole nitrate were started to be applied. When using erythromycin, the glans was not very red, but two days ago, after starting miconazole nitrate, it became redder than before after two days of application. When not erect, there are some wrinkles on the glans, and under strong light, potential red spots are visible on the skin of the glans. Does balanoposthitis belong to fungus or bacteria?Doctor's answer:
It may be caused by balanitis. You can use Jieryin or potassium permanganate solution for cleaning and treatment. Additionally, apply miconazole nitrate externally. Hygiene is very important. It is necessary to change underwear frequently. If you have phimosis, it is advisable to consider circumcision to prevent recurrent inflammation. Balanitis tends to recur, requiring long-term oral medication. For male patients, it is important to seek medical attention immediately at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on examination results. Also, refrain from sexual activity and maintain a positive mood.
