Patient's question:
A few days ago, I went to the hospital and was told it was balanitis. They prescribed me anti-inflammatory medicine with the name "Huangteng" and instructed me to apply it every day. However, I don't think the effect is very noticeable. What should I do? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Phimosis is an inflammation of the glans mucosa, a common clinical diagnosis in male urology. Oral erythromycin should be taken while using potassium permanganate solution for cleaning. It is recommended to frequently clean the foreskin and glans to maintain cleanliness and dryness in the foreskin cavity. If phimosis or paraphimosis is present, circumcision should be performed. The condition of balanitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek professional and regular medical treatment promptly, and treatment should be considered based on examination results. Additionally, sexual activity should be restricted, and a positive mood should be maintained. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
