Patient's question:
The foreskin and coronal sulcus are slightly red and swollen! The glans is somewhat red. This has been going on for over a year and hasn't improved! A few days ago, I went to a regular hospital and had detailed tests for chlamydia, mycoplasma, and candidiasis, all of which were negative. The doctor prescribed me some anti-inflammatory medication, azithromycin enteric-coated capsules, but it hasn't shown any improvement. How should I treat balanitis? Feeling frustrated!Doctor's answer:
Hello, the situation you mentioned should be considered as having balanoposthitis. You can use manganese dioxide solution for washing. It is also necessary to consult a clinical diagnosis doctor. If the foreskin is too long, it should be circumcised. Based on these symptoms, fungal infection is more likely. Applying some miconazole externally is also a good option. You can try it and see. For patients with a foreskin, timely treatment can reduce the incidence. If not treated in time, it may affect your physical condition. Therefore, patients should receive timely medication and maintain a regular lifestyle in daily life, avoiding prolonged sitting. I wish you a speedy recovery.
