Patient's question:
How should balanitis be treated to truly heal?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is recommended to externally apply potassium permanganate solution for cleaning, and take levofloxacin and azithromycin orally. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, and quit smoking and alcohol. If there is phimosis, it is necessary to have circumcision performed as soon as possible. Clean the external genitalia daily, and strictly prohibit sexual intercourse during treatment. Pay attention to cleaning the glans before and after sexual activity. The condition of balanitis tends to recur, requiring long-term oral medication. Actively seek treatment at professional and reputable hospitals, and consider treatment based on examination results. Also, pay attention to a proper diet.
