Patient's question:
I didn't pay attention to hygiene and got balanitis. It's been two months now. Before, it always had yellow pus, but after applying ointment, it never does anymore. However, when I'm working, I suddenly feel the urge to urinate and can't hold it well. When I do, there's not much. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
First, maintain a proper diet, enhance hygiene, and always keep the area clean and dry. Symptomatic treatment is sufficient. Actively suppress infection, using medications like cephalexin, metronidazole, and erythromycin to actively control it. Apply potassium permanganate for local cleaning as needed. Most cases of balanitis can improve with timely treatment. In addition to medical care, patients should also pay attention to maintaining a proper diet and ensuring adequate nutrition in their daily lives.
