Patient's question:
I don't know how to reduce swelling. Should I soak in salt water? The doctor at the hospital said it can slow down the swelling by soaking in salt water. I don't know how to configure the salt water and what kind of salt to use.Doctor's answer:
Balanitis and balanoposthitis with balanitis and swelling can cause local itching and pain. Local treatment is recommended. It is best to take a photo for advice.According to the above condition, if there is only balanitis without erosion, you can use cold compresses with saline solution or cold compresses with a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution. Apply clotrimazole ointment externally. Always maintain local cleanliness. Balanitis can be stabilized, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment and use medication appropriately. Additionally, during treatment, it is recommended to adopt a healthy lifestyle and maintain a proper diet.
