What medication should I take for itchy glans and discomfort during urination?

Patient's question:

Last year to this year, there have been a few times where my stomach got upset, and my glans became uncomfortable. Both the glans and foreskin were itchy, and the foreskin was slightly swollen. Urinating was also uncomfortable. There was a red patch on the glans and some white spots. Subsequently, over the next two days, a layer of skin peeled off from the glans and foreskin. I have had oral sex in the past. What kind of examination should I have, or what medicine should I take?

Doctor's answer:

You may have some symptoms of balanitis. It is recommended to take ciprofloxacin orally to see if it helps. Also, drink plenty of water to increase urine output, which has a flushing effect on the urethra, and prevent overly rough or frequent sexual activity. Eat less spicy food and alcohol. I hope my explanation is of some help to you. The condition of balanitis itching tends to recur, requiring long-term oral medication. For male patients, it is important to go to a professional and regular hospital for diagnosis immediately, and treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Also, pay attention to restricting sexual activity and maintaining a good mood.
