What are the symptoms of balanitis?

Patient's question:

I did a quick search online… It seems like balanitis… The foreskin has some erosion… The urethral meatus is red and swollen… I showed the doctor the pictures… Applied erythromycin ointment for two days… Took cefalexin orally… But it still hurts… There’s a burning sensation… After washing, it still feels damp from time to time… No odor…

Doctor's answer:

Regarding the situation mentioned, it is first important to relax and avoid negative emotions and psychological states such as tension, anxiety, and unease. Additionally, it is essential to pay attention not to drink water or consume foods with high water content after dinner. You can also consider taking desmopressin, which is a synthetic antidiuretic hormone also known as DDAVP, and it is suitable for treating nocturnal polyuria. For male patients, in addition to active treatment, it is necessary to pay attention to maintaining deep sleep, as sufficient deep sleep can help them recover from the condition more quickly. I hope the above answers can be helpful.
