Patient's question:
A week ago, after sexual intercourse, the foreskin was not retracted in time and took a day to gradually return to its normal position. Now, when urinating, there is a sensation of impact on the glans, the glans appears white, and there is a foul odor. Numerous small white bumps have grown on the base of the penis and the scrotum.Treatment measures taken: I have taken Cefadroxil capsules and used potassium permanganate to clean the glans. Due to the difficulty in retracting the glans, the cleaning was only immersed in the solution for five minutes. Currently, the condition has not improved, and with the upcoming shift exam, I want to postpone the idea of undergoing a circumcision. I would like to ask the doctor if there are any medication-based methods that could resolve this. Thank you, doctor!
Doctor's answer:
The patient's condition has balanitis. It can be treated with medication for cleaning. At the same time, oral medications can be taken. It is recommended to pay attention to rest and hygiene. Avoid prolonged standing, overexertion, and exposure to cold wind. Refrain from consuming foods such as alcohol and spicy foods. For severe male genital conditions, it is advised to seek medical attention immediately. Follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Do not switch medications arbitrarily, as this may have the opposite effect.
