Patient's question:
These days, my glans is a bit red. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and was told that the glans itself is not very sensitive to this disease. So I'm asking, what should I do if I have balanitis?Doctor's answer:
First, it should be clarified that if the cause of balanitis is clear, targeted treatment should be implemented. For example, for candidal balanitis, nystatin or clotrimazole should be applied locally; for amoebic balanitis, emetine anesthesia should be administered; and for trichomoniasis balanitis, metronidazole can be taken orally. What should be done if you have balanitis? If it is infected from a close relative, it should be treated together with the close relative to prevent repeated infections. Local treatment is also very important. Based on disordered exudate, potassium permanganate solution or Rivanol-creolin solution can be used for wet compresses.
