Patient's question:
There is white discharge in the foreskin and glans, a small crack between the urethral opening and the coronal sulcus that doesn't hurt or itch and hasn't healed yet. The glans looks a bit pale. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor prescribed Polymyxin B Sulfate Ointment. I don't know if it will work.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to pay attention to personal hygiene on a daily basis, gently wash the foreskin and glans with warm water, and avoid unhealthy lifestyle habits such as drinking alcohol, spicy foods, prolonged sitting, and excessive overtime. It is advisable to wear loose, breathable cotton underwear and change underwear frequently. Since balanitis tends to recur, long-term medication is often necessary. For male patients, it is important to seek medical attention immediately at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on the results of thorough examinations. Additionally, it is important to abstain from sexual activity and maintain a positive mood.
