Patient's question:
I recently don't know what's going on, my lower body is very uncomfortable, and I'm not getting morning erections anymore. Can erythromycin ointment be used for balanitis?Doctor's answer:
If there is obvious redness, swelling, heat, and pain in the glans, with continuously increasing secretions, or even purulent secretions, it is highly likely to be balanitis. The common pathogens include bacteria, mycoplasma, fungi, etc. If it is a bacterial infection, erythromycin ointment has a relatively good anti-inflammatory effect. If it is a fungal infection, a combined antifungal medication is required. During this period, enhance the cleaning and sterilization of the glans, and temporarily avoid sexual activity and tub baths.
