Patient's question:
The glans of the penis is swollen to the extreme, what effective treatment should be used? Erythromycin ointment for external use, oral roxithromycin, daily washing hasn't been effective yet?Doctor's answer:
This is due to phimosis, which has led to balanitis and balanoposthitis. It is recommended that you use potassium permanganate for a wash. If there is no long-term effect, surgery is still advised as the only way to eliminate the cause for a faster recovery. Balanitis tends to recur frequently, requiring long-term medication treatment. For male patients, it is important to actively seek medical treatment at professional and reputable hospitals, considering examination results for treatment. Additionally, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should be maintained.
