Patient's question:
Phimosis, the doctor prescribed some medicine, but I can't recognize the words on it. Could you help me identify what the medicine is? They said the foreskin is too long and recommended surgery to remove it. They gave me a few medications, could you please help me take a look at what they are?Doctor's answer:
An overly long foreskin can easily breed bacteria, leading to conditions like balanoposthitis, and it can also transmit gynecological infections to women through sexual activity. If you have an overly long foreskin, surgical treatment may be considered. If there is currently inflammation, anti-inflammatory treatment can be administered first, primarily through local medication. Follow the doctor's prescribed treatment, and later consider circumcision. Pay attention to hygiene. Balanitis generally requires a longer treatment period and is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication must be used according to the symptoms. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and not smoke or drink beer.
