Patient's question:
Ten years ago, I developed balanitis, mainly characterized by redness and swelling of the glans, with a prominent convexity of the ureter. Is there any medication to treat balanitis?Doctor's answer:
In this case, consider balanoposthitis. Take roxithromycin orally while also using potassium permanganate solution for cleaning. It is recommended to frequently clean the foreskin and glans to maintain cleanliness and dryness in the foreskin cavity. If there is phimosis or excessive foreskin, circumcision should be performed. Balanoposthitis can be relieved, but the treatment process is generally slow, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication should be used according to symptoms. Additionally, it is advised to develop good lifestyle habits and maintain a proper diet during the treatment period.
