Patient's question:
What is this problem? I applied some ointment and it got better. A few days later, I noticed it wasn't painful or itchy anymore. Do you need to know how to use the medicine?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, it is suggested that you may be experiencing symptoms due to balanitis. Pay attention to maintaining good hygiene of the external genitalia to prevent infection. It is recommended that you rest, drink more water, and avoid spicy, irritating, and diarrhea-inducing foods. A balanced and light diet is advisable, with a regular lifestyle. Wear loose, breathable cotton underwear, and you can use a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution for cleaning. The condition of balanitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication for maintenance. For male patients, it is important to actively seek medical treatment at professional and reputable hospitals and consider treatment based on examination results. Additionally, pay attention to a proper diet and avoid sexual activity.
