Patient's question:
Hello, is it okay to take roxithromycin and use topical medication for acute superficial balanitis?Doctor's answer:
Gonococcal orchitis is mainly caused by inflammation and infection of the glans mucosa. It is generally divided into acute superficial balanitis, candidal balanitis, and trichomoniasis balanitis. Different methods are adopted based on the different pathogens. This can be determined through laboratory tests and culture. Generally, treatment involves retracting the foreskin at home, applying a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution for local washing, and then using antibiotics for anti-inflammatory purposes. Avoid spicy, dry, and hot foods. The treatment period typically lasts for about 2-3 weeks. Sexual intercourse should be avoided, as it may lead to infection in women. This point needs to be noted.
