Patient's question:
Recently, there was swelling on my glans again, along with redness. It's really painful and itchy. It hurts especially bad when I go to the bathroom. The redness also seems to be getting bigger slowly. The swelling hasn't gone away for a long time. I don't know what's wrong. Could you please ask, what medicine should be taken for balanitis?Doctor's answer:
This situation primarily requires attention to personal hygiene, changing underwear frequently, and avoiding spicy and irritating foods. It is recommended to take oral levofloxacin capsules and metronidazole, and use potassium permanganate for local cleaning and treatment. It is important to wear loose clothing and maintain local ventilation to prevent the infection from worsening. If it does not improve, it is necessary to visit a hospital for examination. The condition of the foreskin is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is necessary to seek medical treatment immediately at a professional and reputable hospital, and treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Additionally, sexual activity should be controlled, and a positive mood should be maintained. Finally, I wish all patients a speedy recovery.
