Patient's question:
How to treat red and swollen glans with excessive urine sediment?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the basic principles of treating balanitis are anti-inflammatory and antibacterial. Generally, it involves both internal and external treatments. For Candida-induced balanitis, it is common to use griseofulvin or itraconazole for treatment. Potassium permanganate solution for external washing is effective against bacterial and fungal infections, and povidone-iodine for external application also works well. For patients with red and swollen glans, timely treatment can reduce recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should receive timely medication and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life to avoid prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
