Patient's question:
Recently, I had itchy glans with small red spots on the mucous membrane, and the medication didn't fully heal it. Even now, there are a few rusty spots on the mucous membrane of the glans. Note: During a recent trip, I didn't use a condom, but used one during the act after that. It seems to have gotten worse since then. I've had glans inflammation before, and it healed after taking medication for a few days. This time, it's been dragging on, and I don't want to go to the hospital to see a doctor. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
The situation you described is likely caused by infectious balanitis. For treatment, you can take oral levofloxacin capsules and apply ointment externally while also using potassium permanganate solution for cleaning. Always maintain local hygiene. Balanitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital immediately. Treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Additionally, avoid smoking and drinking alcohol, and pay attention to personal hygiene.
