Patient's question:
Going to a big hospital to see a doctor didn't help much, and they just casually prescribed some ointment. It's been about five months now, and it's still the same. Not painful, not itchy. I want to ask if it's serious. Should I go see again to get it checked? What color is a normal glans?Doctor's answer:
It should be considered whether there is itching or an unpleasant odor, and then appropriately use traditional Chinese medicine for washing. Generally, phimosis is very likely to cause inflammation, so it is appropriate to use traditional Chinese medicine liquid for washing and apply a small amount of erythromycin ophthalmic ointment for close observation. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If it is not treated in a timely manner, it will affect health conditions. Therefore, patients should promptly treat the symptoms and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
