Patient's question:
Penis foreskin is swollen, the corona area is red, and it's itchy terribly. I don't know why this is happening?Doctor's answer:
In this case, there is balanitis. Treatment suggestions include applying potassium permanganate solution externally and taking levofloxacin and azithromycin orally. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, and quit smoking and alcohol. If there is phimosis, it is necessary to have circumcision as soon as possible. Daily cleaning of the external genitalia can alleviate balanitis, but the treatment period is usually long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medications should be used according to the symptoms.
