Patient's question:
Balanitis, it has been three days. I have been using povidone-iodine for cleaning and applying erythromycin ointment, but it doesn't seem to be getting better.Doctor's answer:
Balanoposthitis, it is recommended that you get a secretion test done. Based on the test results, you should take medication for symptomatic treatment. Avoid using ointments blindly, as it can easily lead to dysbacteriosis and worsen symptoms. You can use a diluted potassium permanganate solution for wiping. Pay close attention to personal hygiene. In addition to timely treatment for male genitourinary diseases, patients should maintain a positive attitude when facing the illness. Only in this way can we reduce the patient's immunity and their belief in fighting the disease. At the same time, pay more attention to dietary care, focusing on light foods and avoiding cold foods. It is believed that this will surely drive away male genitourinary diseases.
