Patient's question:
After having sex with my boyfriend for more than a week, I developed balanitis, with only small red spots and slight itching. Is it serious? Can I use salt water to wash it every day?Doctor's answer:
Guidance: Consider balanoposthitis, take oral roxithromycin, and simultaneously use potassium permanganate solution for cleaning. It is recommended to frequently clean the foreskin and glans to maintain cleanliness and dryness in the foreskin cavity. If there is phimosis or excessive foreskin, circumcision should be performed. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce recurrence. If not treated promptly, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment, avoid overexertion in daily life, and pay attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
