How is balanitis treated?

Patient's question:

My glans had itching, redness, and frequent urination a few days ago. After using it, it has improved a lot. There's no itching, no swelling, and normal urination. The latest, I didn't have time to take a bath today. There are many white secretions on my glans and a few small red spots have appeared?

Doctor's answer:

Poor hygiene can cause irritation. It is recommended to pay attention to hygiene and change underwear and pants frequently. Consider maintaining good hygiene and avoiding spicy and irritating foods. Strictly prohibit sexual activity, and it is advisable to use warm water for daily cleaning. Consider using potassium permanganate solution for cleaning the genital area, applying topical creams or ointments locally, and taking metronidazole orally for anti-inflammatory treatment. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek appropriate treatment promptly and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene.
