Patient's question:
Time: One and a half years, treated once, it got better almost, so I didn't pay much attention. The condition flared up, I forgot what medication I took at the time. Now it's more severe than before, it used to be redness. Now it's redness with small spots, erection is smooth, but after becoming flaccid, it's dry. The has been going on for one and a half years. Should I use treatment?Doctor's answer:
Considering it may be balanoposthitis, it is recommended to take metronidazole orally, apply fluconazole ointment externally, and simultaneously use potassium permanganate solution for cleaning. It is advised to frequently clean the foreskin and glans to maintain a clean and dry foreskin cavity. If there is phimosis or excessive foreskin, circumcision should be performed. In daily life, a light diet should be followed, and spicy or irritating foods should be avoided. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the recurrence of the condition. If left untreated, it may affect overall health.
