Patient's question:
I had a circumcision surgery at the hospital two days ago and paid 600 yuan. Yesterday, I received several bottles of intravenous fluids and had a 40-minute red light treatment for 300 yuan. Today, I went again for the same 40-minute red light treatment and several bottles of intravenous fluids, also for 300 yuan. I noticed no improvement, and my glans is still swollen with a hematoma. The doctor said the hematoma occurred because the bandage was too tight, and there was no effect, with the treatment being expensive and requiring daily visits for a week. At night, when I get an erection, it's extremely painful.What kind of assistance would be helpful: Is it okay to get a few bottles of anti-inflammatory intravenous fluids at a smaller hospital? Besides the pain during erections, what medications can be used, and what are their side effects?
Doctor's answer:
It might be balanitis. You can apply some clotrimazole ointment or cream. Suggestions: Use the topical medication for three days and see if it works. If it is effective, continue using the topical medication for one week. If the foreskin is too long, it is recommended to have a circumcision. If the topical medication is ineffective, it is best to go to a specialized hospital for a detailed examination and tests. The foreskin condition can be relieved, but the treatment process is usually slow, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication should be used according to the symptoms. Additionally, the patient should have a light diet, avoid foods, and not smoke or drink beer. We hope the male patient can recover as soon as possible!
