Patient's question:
Recently, I've noticed some redness and swelling on my glans, and it's also very painful. The doctor said it's glans inflammation. Can the glans inflammation be treated with povidone-iodine?Doctor's answer:
Povidone iodine can be used for sterilizing skin and mucous membranes. In the case of bacterial infection diseases, povidone iodine can be used for wiping. Even if balanitis occurs, povidone iodine can be used for sterilizing wiping before taking oral medication. However, after the occurrence of balanitis, it is still necessary to promptly conduct a check to confirm the nature of the balanitis before using medication for treatment.
