Patient's question:
Last week, I had sex with my girlfriend. At the time, I didn't feel any discomfort. Three days later, the head of my penis became red, with small red bumps on it. After washing it twice, it was still the same. Later, I went to the hospital to see a doctor, who diagnosed it as balanitis. The doctor said I need to take medication. How long does it take for balanitis to heal with medication?Doctor's answer:
Phimosis is caused by factors such as unclean sexual activity, infection, or friction. Treatment requires anti-infection measures. It is recommended to mix PP powder with water for cleaning, change underwear frequently, avoid spicy foods, quit smoking and drinking, and drink more water. Sexual activity is strictly prohibited, and oral antibiotics should be taken for treatment. In severe cases, it is necessary to visit a hospital promptly for treatment. During the treatment period, avoid sexual activity to prevent cross-infection.
