Patient's question:
I recently feel pain when urinating. At first, I didn't pay much attention, but yesterday I noticed some abnormalities on my glans—it was red and inflamed. It's so embarrassing to have inflammation in such a private area! I was thinking of going to a pharmacy to get some medicine first. What kind of medicine should I take for glans inflammation?Doctor's answer:
In your case, it could be bacterial balanitis. It is recommended to take oral antibiotics for anti-inflammatory treatment. Commonly used antibiotics include nitrofurans, cephalosporins, or macrolides. It is essential to take medication under the guidance of a doctor during this period. Avoid drinking beer and pay attention to hygiene of the genital area. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect your health. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and avoid overexertion in daily life while maintaining good personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
