Patient's question:
These days, my glans has been particularly painful. Later, while taking a bath, I noticed that my glans was red and seemed slightly swollen. A thorough examination at the hospital revealed that I had balanitis. I was prescribed quite a few medications, but they were not very effective. My friend said I could try erythromycin ointment. Hello, does erythromycin ointment help treat glans inflammation?Doctor's answer:
If it is confirmed that bacterial balanitis has reappeared, you can consider using topical erythromycin promptly, which can effectively stabilize the infection in the glans. At the same time, it is essential to maintain the glans dry and clean at all times. Try to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables as much as possible. If balanitis recurs repeatedly, it is necessary to use antimicrobial medications promptly. At the same time, it is important to change underwear frequently. For patients with glans inflammation, timely treatment can reduce recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and maintain a regular lifestyle in daily life, avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
