Patient's question:
My husband has developed balanitis. The doctor prescribed oral medication and topical ointment, saying the treatment would be effective within a week for conception. How can balanitis be relieved?Doctor's answer:
Considering it may be balanitis, use a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution for local cleaning and maintain dryness at all times. Under the guidance of a doctor, take antibiotics for treatment. Pay attention to genital hygiene, maintain dryness, bathe frequently, change underwear often, and avoid a history of unprotected sex. Balanitis is a serious condition, and it is recommended that patients start treatment immediately. It is hoped that patients can follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, pay attention to self-care, maintain a proper diet, and avoid worsening the condition.
